Ash

We set out at dusk
We left them, well, not much
The boys were shoutin' and kickin' up dust
Oh and as we ran
With the fire behind us and the torch in my hand
I knew I couldn’t do it again
The ghosts were howlin' in the late afternoon
We were singin' along to the same old tune
I turned to my brothers to look 'em in the eyes
There was ash… ash fallin' from the sky
The moon cast a little light but the flames lit up the night
All the animals laid down and died and there was ash
Oh and as we ran
With the fire behind us and the torch in my hand
I knew I couldn’t do it again
The ghosts were howlin' in the late afternoon
We were singin' along to the same old tune
I turned to my brothers to look 'em in the eyes
There was ash… ash fallin' from the sky
And who could tell the dogs from the men?
I see their faces and I know where they’ve been
I know I’m with 'em but I ain’t like them! I--
And who could tell the dogs from the men?
I see their faces and I know where they’ve been
I know I’m with 'em but I ain’t like them! I--
It makes me so tired
I was like smoke without the fire
And I know I ain’t like them, no!
