Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They raise a glass to smoke
And call it victory
But I hear the mothers choke
Across the broken fields
Gold on a uniform
Mud on a child's shoe
Tell me what kind of storm
Makes mercy look untrue
[Pre-Chorus]
And the hands that sign the lines
Never dig the graves
Still they sleep at night
While the blood rains
[Chorus]
Ashes in the field
Ashes in the field
Who will heal
What they leave behind?
Ashes in the field
Ashes in the field
Hear the children cry
Hear the children cry
[Verse 2]
A boy with empty sleeves
A girl with hollow eyes
The winter in their cheeks
Could freeze a thousand lies
They said the cause was clean
They said the world must bend
But every flag I’ve seen
Came down in the end
[Pre-Chorus]
And the hands that sign the lines
Never dig the graves
Still they sleep at night
While the blood rains
[Chorus]
Ashes in the field
Ashes in the field
Who will heal
What they leave behind?
Ashes in the field
Ashes in the field
Hear the children cry
Hear the children cry
[Bridge]
If a crown is built on fear
Then it will crack and fall
If a man can cheer the hurt
Then he has no soul at all
So let the drums go quiet
Let the iron rust
There’s no glory in the ruin
Only bone and dust
[Final Chorus]
Ashes in the field
Ashes in the field
Who will heal
What they leave behind?
Ashes in the field
Ashes in the field
Hear the children cry
Hear the children cry
Ashes in the field
Ashes in the field
One day truth will rise
One day truth will rise
