Ashs Don’t Pray

Lyrics

**[Verse 1]** Boots hit the dirt where the silence screams Echoes of ghosts in broken dreams Names carved deep in the back of my mind Left them bleeding, left them behind Smoke in my lungs, fire in my veins Drowning in the sound of distant pain I see their faces when I close my eyes Buried in truth, covered in lies --- **[Pre-Chorus]** Tell me, is there mercy for the damned? Or just blood still staining these hands? --- **[Chorus]** I walked through hell and I can’t come back Carrying souls in a body that’s cracked Heaven don’t answer when I call its name Ashes don’t pray, they just fall like rain I gave my faith to a war I can’t win Now the devil just lives under my skin If there’s a light, it’s too far away Ashes don’t pray… ashes don’t pray --- **[Verse 2]** Letters I wrote but never sent Words full of guilt and punishment Told them I’d make it, I’d be okay But I died a little more each day Trigger still shakes in my frozen hand Can’t wash away what I don’t understand Was it the orders or was it me? Who pulled the weight of eternity? --- **[Pre-Chorus]** Tell me, can the broken be saved? Or are we just digging our graves? --- **[Chorus]** I walked through hell and I can’t come back Carrying souls in a body that’s cracked Heaven don’t answer when I call its name Ashes don’t pray, they just fall like rain I gave my faith to a war I can’t win Now the devil just lives under my skin If there’s a light, it’s too far away Ashes don’t pray… ashes don’t pray --- **[Bridge – softer, haunting]** I hear them calling… From the other side… Saying don’t follow… Where we had to die… But I’m still falling… Through endless night… No hand to pull me… Back to the light… --- **[Breakdown – heavy]** NO REDEMPTION! NO RELEASE! JUST THE WAR THAT NEVER LEAVES! SCREAM THEIR NAMES— FEEL THE WEIGHT! EVERY BREATH JUST COMES TOO LATE! --- **[Final Chorus – bigger, desperate]** I walked through hell and I can’t come back Carrying souls in a body that’s cracked Heaven don’t answer when I call its name Ashes don’t pray, they just fall like rain I gave my faith to a war I can’t win Now the devil just lives under my skin If there’s a light, it’s too far away Ashes don’t pray… --- **[Outro – fading]** Ashes don’t pray… They just fade away…
