[Verse 1]
Ash on my face
Blessed without your faith
Candles lit
Come and sit
Burnt offerings
Among other things
Open wide
Come inside
No need to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore the smoke like a crown
I let the old walls fall down
If you want the truth, it's here
Right beneath the skin, my dear
[Chorus]
Ash on my face
Ash on my face
Blessed, blessed in the flame
Come and sit, call my name
Come inside
No need to hide
Come and sit
Ash on my face
[Verse 2]
Silver on the tray
Guilt falls away
Every little prayer
Tangled in the air
I kept the matchbook close
I kept the door half-closed
But your shadow knew the way
And it never went away
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore the smoke like a crown
I let the old walls fall down
If you want the truth, it's here
Right beneath the skin, my dear
[Chorus]
Ash on my face
Ash on my face
Blessed, blessed in the flame
Come and sit, call my name
Come inside
No need to hide
Come and sit
Ash on my face
[Bridge]
If the altar burns
Let it burn
If the night returns
Let it turn
I was made from what was lost
I was named by all that cost
[Final Chorus]
Ash on my face
Ash on my face
Blessed, blessed in the flame
Come and sit, call my name
Come inside
No need to hide
Come and sit
Ash on my face
