ASHEN REIGN LYRICS

1. The Feast

The wolves gather round
Like a pack of bloodhounds
Tracking you down
Like the speed of sound

You can run and you can hide
The woods are dark and you are wide eyed
The smell of blood, the taste of flesh
Fear grows strong as you are vexed

The chase is on
The pack so strong
Gonna have their way
Today is your day

[Chorus]
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Out in the woods all alone
Just beyond the trees out in the dark
A howling call hits the mark
The pack will feed and you're the course
They'll rip your flesh with no remorse
Knowing the nature of the beast
The big bad wolf will have his feast

The pack grows wider
As the night gets cold
Surrounded by fear
You're time grows near

The first bite comes and you feel the pain
Ripping flesh, the spewing veins
You go in shock you're terrified
The feeling of being eaten alive

The feast is on
You're dying breath
Gonna have their way
Today is your day

2. An Angels Burden

As the angel flew overhead
Cast down by the ocean he bled
Heaven's battle by far was not won
If he had not did what he had done
Lucifer would surely have won

Will his wounds heel he does not know
This hero's face will never show
No sacrifice without gain
No one will ever know his name
The angel cast out by his shame

[Chorus:]
Heaven only knows that you cannot win
When betrayal is your only friend
Forgive but cannot forget
This life is filled full of regret
Angel of mercy forgive my soul
Give me a life where I can grow old
These battle scars I cannot accept
As the path I chose Heaven wept

[Verse 2:]
The Evil One thought he had it all figured out
Had no idea he'd be cast out
The favorite one, he was above all
One third of angels heard his call
He loved himself above them all

The only one he trusted was his friend
Our sad angel's journey begins
To save heaven, he threw in the abyss
He sealed Satan's fate with a kiss
Our Angel he could not miss

3. Hope

You see the morning sun
But you can't be the one
They built around it
But you can't wait

As you fall deep and far
You see a shooting star
They built around you
But you can't wait

Hope is the only one
If you fail, it will run
It fell around you
It's too late

Hope is always there
When all that's left is despair
Hope will rain on you
And soon you'll need hope too

[Chorus]
Hope is the only one
who can't escape the bitter fate
It's waiting there for you for you to hold
The bitter cold, the one you wanted
You can feel it's warm embrace
It's weary face you're much too late and
it is looking down at you, you think you had
The one you wanted

You can walk the ring of fire
The one you lost, it's your desire
You can't break free
You're bound by fate

It reaches out to you
It wants to rule you too
You can't break free
You're bound by fate

You try to turn away
It's with you til the grave
It fell around you
You're bound by fate

4. Broken Heart

With eyes so dark and grey
This life will fade away
With the setting sun
The end is growing near

[Chorus]
I don't know when it's my time
As darkness fades to grey
I put off my last dream
But there won't be another day
We think we all have time
Before we all depart
But waiting only means
You'll leave this world with a broken heart

I miss my kids, my life, my wife
Do they know the way I feel
Will I be forgot
Will they know how I cared

5. Simple Things

To see trouble coming and to turn away
Is to be blind side
You won't see it when you hit the ground
Just to swallow your pride

Life is moving by you way to fast
It's gonna pass you by
Enjoy the day, take a breath of air
Look up to the blue sky

Don't miss out on life
Take time to see the light
You got to change your life

Enjoy the times
Ever changing Times
In a simple song

[Chorus]
Life is what you make it
And if you let em they will take it
Stop and smell the roses
Take the time so no one opposes
This is your only dance
Don't leave it to a game of chance
Don't work your life away
Tomorrow brings a brand new day

You been working hard all your life
Chasing the rainbow
When time is money and the money's gone
Where did the time go

There's got to be more to life than this
Slow down and you'll see
The simple things that compose your soul
Will allow you to break free

6. A Prayer For The Dying

Blinded by the anger
so bitter and so cold
for in their anger they slay the innocence of souls

forgive their wrath, for it was remorseful deep set
as anger filled their souls tormented with regret

if you can't see the light then
don't make a sound
you'll be found
you'll be found

[Chorus]
A Prayer for the Dying
is a dream worth fighting for
when Death whispers softly
you're his forever more

To fear the kiss of death
must be terrifying
Won't you lend me your ear say
A Prayer For the Dying

When its time to pass
have you left an angry word
your last dying breath should never go unheard

forgive yourself and you may find yourself at peace
the regret that fills your heart is blinded disbelief

7. Fear of the Snake

he snake is low
in search of the prey
The grass is high
and he's on his way

The sparrow's loud
scared for the worst
when the snake arrives
He's gonna quench his thirst

The sparrows life
is on the line
fight for its young don't want to leave the world behind

The snake he's cold
knows what he wants
Has no fear of the birds it's spirit haunts

The fear of the snake
The shady snake

[Chorus]
The fear of death is on it's way
Feel the tremble and shake
Birds of prey even fear the snake
Feel it slither your way
You can feel it on your heels
Know that it's too late
Sparrow tried to stop the snake
The battle cry in vein
They're gone

Now you know
how the story goes
The snake he won
feels satisfied

His belly full
of fresh young birds
The sparrow cried
as the young ones died

The snake he's strong
won the day
Sit's in the sun while his spirit bakes

The poor bird cried
lost his way
Pray the snake don't return some day

8. The Sparrow
