Above the Ashes

Rise above the ashes, before you burn
Start taking chances now that the tables have turned on you
You know soul sacrifice is the key to succeed,
but, living on bad advice is all you've managed to achieve
And you confess that your life is in a mess,
and preceeding death is not bound to decieve

Rise above the ashes, before you burn
Don't stop taking chances,
Now that life has turned its back on you

Misunderstanding advice you've longed ignored
Can you feel the flames reaching higher?
You say, "chemical dependency
has not become an intensity"
but a shattered reflection from
an unbroken mirror reveals...
YOU'RE A LIAR!!!

Rise above the ashes, before you burn
Join the huddled masses, destined to die!
It's now your turn...
