zhuravliov - "star wars" ashes of burnin konn (migs mayfeld song) lyrics

[verse 1]
i still smell the smoke in my sleep
hear the cries that cut too deep
we were told it was for peace —
but peace don’t burn a city piece by piece

they gave the order, we obeyed
watched the skies turn black then fade
that rain, it wasn’t water, friend —
just fire fallin’ till the end

[chorus]
ashes, ashes, fallin’ down
like ghosts above that crimson ground
we were soldiers, just p+wns on a board
dyin’ for flags we couldn’t afford
and no medal, no cause, no command will atone…
for the ashes of burnin konn

[pause. deep sigh.]

[verse 2]
they said order, said control
said the empire had a soul
but souls don’t scorch their own to dust —
no, that’s not power. that’s just rust
i saw the children made of flame
friends reduced to numbers, names
we loaded crates, we followed law —
and h+ll looked back at what we saw

[chorus]
ashes, ashes, in the wind
we knew we’d never breathe again
you paint it white, you call it fate —
but murder’s murder, dressed as state
and the screams still echo long…
from the ashes of burnin konn

[bridge. spoken+sung, bitterly]
they say move on
they say forget
but i still drink
my own regrets
i see their eyes
each time i blink —
no matter when
i try to think

[the music is a little louder, a little angrier. the guitar is interrupted by a dull finger strike.]

[final chorus]
ashes, ashes, down they fall
who counts the dead when there’s no wall?
just fields of glass, and skies gone wrong
and names we whisper in the song
i ain’t proud of what i done…
but i remember every one…
from the ashes of burnin konn
