I refuse these ashes My mind's eye see, my mind's I While the evidence of weakness Is piling up in heaps The filth of sweat and tears Streaming from me The greed and lust and all these fears The lies and alcohol that drips From my mouth, from my mouth
A mount Zion inside with a ceiling Undying thirst for us dying children I fail to ascend as I ponder infinity Oh, endlessly
I refuse these ashes My mind's eye see, my mind is I While the evidence of weakness Is piling up in heaps The filth of sweat and tears Streaming from me The greed and lust and all these fears The lies and alcohol that drips From my mouth, from my mouth
