blóðvein - silence in the ashes lyrics
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
i saw heaven through a drone’s eye view
and h+ll lookin’ back at me too
cl!ck+clack, boots in the red clay mud
where the tears mix in with the blood…
i was drafted into silence, baptized in smoke
where the prayers don’t rise and the angels choke
eyes wide shut, can’t dream no more
’cause i seen what a bullet does to a boy at war
carbon fiber soul, heart stitched in kеvlar
got friends in bags, names carved in ars
night vision green, but thе world stays black
with a suicide switch and a steel toe strap
hunger in the heat, thirst in the snow
we bleed for men we don’t even know
medals for mothers and flags on a bed
while their sons see ghosts in the eyes of the dead
tell me how to feel when the world goes numb
every second’s a beat of a war drum
i survived but i left my soul
somewhere deep in that no+go zone
and we scream, but the silence is louder
all the blood turns the soil to powder
we were kings, we were fools, we were martyrs
now we drown in the ash of the fire we started
ohhh, is there life after this?
or just silence in the ashes…
it’s hard to tell the living from the ghosts out here
you get used to the bombs and the smoke out here
prophets on screens and prophets in suits
while we bury our truth in government boots
he said, “cover me,” then i saw him fall
flesh to fragments on a compound wall
i don’t even flinch when the thunder pops
got ptsd in a candy box
hollow in the heart, but the trigger stay full
’cause the pain hit sweeter than a red bull pull
we were just kids with a death wish drip
now we trade gold t++th for apocalypse lips
they said we were brave, but i feel like a liar
i watched hope burn in a foxhole fire
wrote her name on the side of a sh+ll
and sent it off like a postcard from h+ll
will you still love me when my soul don’t fit?
when i flinch at the sound of a firework hit?
i came back in one piece, but i’m not whole
this war ate pieces i’ll never control…
and we scream, but the silence is louder
all the blood turns the soil to powder
we were kings, we were fools, we were martyrs
now we drown in the ash of the fire we started
ohhh, is there life after this?
or just silence in the ashes…
(and the voices don’t fade…)
(and the echoes still stay…)
no peace, just pills and rage
ink on my skin, can’t cage this cage
memories drip like morphine hits
and the dreams don’t sleep—they slit
keep my vest by the bed
keep a scream in my head
keep the lights all dim
’cause the war ain’t dead
i held your letter in the smoke
whispered love but i still choked
if you ask if i made it back
say: “he walked through h+ll… and never came back.”
