Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walked that ground alone
Boots sunk in the grey
Every step I took
Was a name I could not say
I saw their marked-out lines
Still burning in my mind
And I kept going on
Though I left my heart behind
[Verse 2]
I carried them in smoke
In my arms and in my chest
With nothing but their laughter
And the weight I couldn't lift
Their blood in the dirt
Their boots still in my hand
I told them, "Stay with me"
Till the field could understand
[Pre-Chorus]
And the sky went cold
Over every broken trace
I heard my own voice shaking
In that empty, open place
[Chorus]
Field of ashes
I still walk through
Field of ashes
I’m holding you
Broken wings
Could not let them fall
Love was all I had
Love was all
[Verse 3]
Now every furrow cuts
Like a scar under my feet
I see their faces rise
In the dust that won’t let me breathe
I wear the silence home
Like a medal made of stone
And I keep their last breath
In the marrow of my bones
[Pre-Chorus]
I call their names
Till the dark begins to sway
The wind keeps answering
But it won’t give them away
[Chorus]
Field of ashes
I still walk through
Field of ashes
I’m holding you
Broken wings
Could not let them fall
Love was all I had
Love was all
[Bridge]
If heaven has a doorway
Then let it open wide
I’d march them through the golden
Like I should have that night
But here I am, still bleeding
Where the dead air cuts me clean
A soldier with no army
And their ghosts walking with me
[Final Chorus]
Field of ashes
I still walk through
Field of ashes
I’m holding you
Broken wings
Could not let them fall
Love was all I had
Love was all
Love was all
Love was all
