Текст Damien Jurado – Ashes

I’ve got a mind to shed my skin
To let out what’s within
To free the light inside

My bones will be the kindling

Ashes, ashes
I am destined to be ashes
So I will melt with who is by my side

I’ve built around my heart a church
And the pew in which in which I perch
And the seat in which I pray

For my god is Rock and Roll the first
And though it may be cursed
It’s the only game worth playing

Ashes, ashes
I am destined to be ashes
So melt with me and keep my soul from straying

Some may find beauty hard to see
But it’s easy enough for me
Just a beat and these three chords

And though I may be a stumbling fool
I am sharpening my tool
This guitar will be my sword

Ashes, ashes
I am destined to be ashes
So melt with me and we will find the Lord

My heart is such a wayward ship
Briefly docking ‘fore each trip
Just a kiss before I cruise

And though waves are often beckoning
There’s a sudden reckoning
As your eyes have tripped my fuse

Ashes, ashes
I am destined to be ashes
So melt with me, there’s nothing left to lose
