Ashes to Ashes Lyrics

Ravished from our paradise
A crack in the mirror, I know who's to blame
So full of life, but paralyzed
Etched on my iris, but I try not to think of it all

We swore to God in veritas
And burned our skin like it burned our souls
One dealt with grief by causing pain
She hid behind maple and built her own fortress of sound

Hear this melody, almost forgotten

(Hush)
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust
Been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes

Forbidden dance on fragile skin
Why do you shine as I suffer in pain?
The greatest scars remain within
Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin

Fear this melody, almost forgotten

(Hush)
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust
Been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes

I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
(Hate… my solution)
Been waiting too long
(Fate… an illusion)

I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes

I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
Like ashes to ashes

Cover art for Ashes to Ashes lyrics by Kamelot

When i listened to this song, i thought: "Wooow. That`s a nice chorus!!" But i wonder what is this song all about... no idea. The only thing i could suppose was:

"Ravished from our paradise A crack in the mirror, I know who's to blame So full of life, but paralyzed Etched on my iris, but I try not to think of it all"

This 1st part sounded to me as the story of someone young, full of life, but disabled by an accident or something. While the other person can`t take that image out of his/her mind.

Obviously, i may have guessed it wrong hehe

it's about a girl who was killed accidentally by her brothers. Just watch the Sacrimony video on YouTube and you can read about Silverthorn on wiki. it's a concept album about a little girl named Jolee.

No your right! Silverthorn is a story album about a young girl who dies in an accident, just buy Silverthorn deluxe edition with bonus CD it comes with a book describing the whole story
