mononen. – a coat of ashes lyrics
a coat of ashes
all the beauty on display
all the knowledge to be obtained
you just throw it away
how easily you resigned to apathy
disclaimed all we’ve learned so far
exchanged erudition for vanity
chose to aim well below the bar
when everything is available
and everything is free
you fail to see its value
your descent to entropy
how swiftly you spent your dignity
traded the cerebral for the vain
placed your trust on empty beliefs
discarded hope for poisonous claims
when everything is available
and everything is free
all the beauty on display
you just throw it away
your reluctance to see
what your actions will reap
the consequences to you and me
as a coat of ashes falls
on cherry trees
when everything is on offer
and there’s everything to gain
all the knowledge to be obtained
you just throw it away
your reluctance to see
what your actions will reap
the consequences to you and me
as a coat of ashes falls
on cherry trees
your reluctance to see
what your actions will reap
