King of the Ashes by India Ramey Lyrics

Verse 1
I woke in a different world today
All that I held dear had been stripped away
Because a man came to town, he's going to burn it all down
Some fought, some followed, some looked the other way

Verse 2
He's a wolf in the cloth of a sheep
And he preys on the fearful and the weak
With a serpent's tongue he rages against the prophets and the sages
He snuck in by the back roads while we were all asleep

Chorus
Oh rise up, rise up
Let's stop this train before it crashes
He won't let up until he's won
He'll burn it down just to be king of the ashes
Never shut, never shut up
Because hate is gasoline and silence is the matches

Verse 3
Now pay attention children and be brave
It's in your hands to make this darkness go away
Turn away from childish things and all the suffering they bring
Stand up to the bigots and the wicked, or be their slaves
Chorus
Oh rise up, rise up
Let's stop this train before it crashes
He won't let up until he's won
He'll burn it down just to be king of the ashes
Never shut, never shut up
Because hate is gasoline and silence is the matches
Because hate is gasoline and silence is the matches
