Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky
Brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place, or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace
Is the human face
But afraid we may lay our home to waste
Theres a fear down here we cant forget
Hasnt got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Now watch as the ball revolves
And the nighttimе falls
Again the hunt begins
Again the bloodwind calls
By and by agin, thе morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes
From some mens eyes
No, it strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat
Its you and me
You and me
Flash blade in ghetto night
Rudys looking for a fight
Rat cat alley, roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that jones
And the politicians throwin stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Commissars and pin-stripe bosses roll the dice
Any way they fall
Guess who gets to pay the price
Money green or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
And the politicians throwin stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirits sleeping
Then the flesh is ink
Yeah, historys page will be deeply carved in stone
The futures here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own
On our own
On our own
On our own
On our own
If the game is lost
Then were all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shiny ball of blue we can call our home
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
And politicians throwin stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth
Yes, and black goes south and white comes north
In a whole world full of petty wars
Yes, and I got mine and you got yours
And the current fashion sets the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
And the radical, he rant and rage
Singing someones got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his covers blown
And the politicians throwin stones
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
Its all too clear were on our own
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Picture a bright blue ball
Just spinnin, spinnin free
Its dizzy with possibilities
Ashes, ashes, all fall down 
Ashes, ashes, all fall down 
Ashes, ashes, all fall down 
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down 
All fall down 
All fall down 
Hey, singing, ashes, ashes, all fall down
All fall down 
All fall down 
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down 
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
