Ashes of Humanity

Sitting here in these ashes
Of a world we used to love
Thinking about the future
I wonder where did we go wrong

when did we start hating
When did we lose our need for love
When did we start giving up
Or were we like this all along
And Tell me about these ashes
the ashes of humanity
Tell me where has it all gone
Just tell me where did we go wrong
Oh so wrong, wrong, wrong



What happened to humanity
No one cares for it anymore
We keep chasing the dollar bill
As we trample on the sick and poor
Never stop to lend a hand
we’ve all been sullied to the core
When did we stop fighting
To keep the devil from our door
It’s time to get up off your knees
And start living like before

Wealth isn’t in the dollar
Wealth isn’t in a score
Wealth isn’t in the things we own
Being better than the poor
Wealth is something from within
Wealth is what a poor man owns
As he give you more and more
More, more, more

What happened to humanity
No one cares for it anymore
We keep chasing the dollar bill
As we trample on the sick and poor
Never stop to lend a hand
we’ve all been sullied to the core
When did we stop fighting
To keep the devil from our door
It’s time to get up off your knees
And start living like before


I feel the human spirit
A spirit strong inside of me
Im gonna come out swinging
You can keep your slavery

Very cool piece!

Hey cheers mate. Putting lyrics down as you know is very rewarding. Hearing the amazing talent here bring it to life is next level satisfaction

Indeed, well said.

I don't know about you but I often have some kind of tune or at least rhythmn in mind when writing.

Then if someone decides to use one it's interesting when they come up with exactly what you envisaged. But equally, it's pretty amazing when someone does something really cool thats 100% different.

I think "well that's probably a bit country, perhaps nobody will have a use for it but [i]I[/i] like it.... Whoah! thrash metal, that worked :)

There are some really great and inventive musicians around here! Hope to hear "Ashes of Humanity" soon.

I love when someone sings my lyrics completely different to what I had in mind. This inspires me even more. Darkness was written as a Pink Floyd style yet Axenvox nailed it with his style. Torn and twisted sung two different genres and both great. Wikiloops, where world class talent is on tap. The music industry on the outside don’t know what they are missing.
