Embrace These Ashes

Taught me how to live Taught me how to breathe Taught me how to love Taught me how to achieve Taught me everything I needed to see It all seemed it was meant to be It all seemed it was meant to be Where were you when I prayed the last prayer? Then everything fell into place When you saw me as second best I've seen enough of this world And all it's cheap offerings Every step I take is filled with this pain Given life, given death; it's all one big test Why don't you ask the dead How they managed this one What will be said when you're gone What made you do what you did? Reached for your handgun Lifted to your mouth You pulled the trigger And you let life fade away Reached for your handgun Lifted to your mouth You pulled the trigger And you let life fade away You let life fade away You let life fade away I will have nothing to do with your self-sacrifice. Now you're dead, how will you be remembered?
