Slinking in circles, finger triggers drawn
Invincible powers, hand me downs adorned
Playgrounds teeming with lunchtime cowboys
Marbles and jump rope, seek and destroy
A chorus of children singing the sound
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
Scrambling for trenches, bloody hands and knees
Hearts caught in throats, makes it harder to breathe
Sardine soldiers with stale bated breath
Ducking and weaving, men cheating death
The lucky ones shielded safe below ground
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
On midnight patrol the final shot came
From mountain tops, he was clinically slain
One golden bullet, straight through his chest
Silver hot pain then blank emptiness
Wait 'til morning you might not be found
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
