lyrics

The shine in the shadows
Swings like a swinging pendulum
Its flickering light comes
Through the trees
The torch lit
Tinderstick

So light a fire in the heather
And flush out the adder’s
Where the smoke floats like feathers
From ash to ash
To ember to ember

Petrified town
Buried stories underground
Pompeii


Autumn leaves alight the ground
The wind stokes the coals of this burning town
The tree limbs tattooed with the seasons past
Like shadows in the hourglass

So light a fire in the heather
And flush out the adder’s
Where the smoke floats like feathers
From ash to ash
To ember to ember

In a petrified town
Stories underground
Pompeii

Ash to ash, ember to ember, ash to ash, ember to /
Ember, ash to ash, ember to ember, ash to ash, em /
Ber to ember, ash to ash, ember to ember, ash to /
Ash, ember to ember, ash to ash, ember to ember /
