ashs of Tyson 2
by Dj Lewis
Lyrics
Verse 1
Mud in his teeth
Steel through his side
Tyson laughs red
On the battlefield night
You stand above him
Armor cracked
Shaking hands
He spits out blood
Draws a line in the sand
"Go on
Finish it
Be the heroes they praise
But when I’m gone
You’ll beg for these days
My bloodline’s watching
From the dark in the sky
My father
My mother
Will come when I die"
Chorus
Ashes of Tyson
You thought it ended there
You left him in the silence
You breathed that easy air
But a promise made in dying breath
Still cuts you like a blade
Ashes of Tyson
Are all that you have saved
Verse 2
Years turn to rust
Helmets turn to crowns
Statues of your faces
In the middle of town
You drink and you dance
At the old victory stone
Forget the last warning
He carved in your bones
Then smoke in the morning
Sky turns the color of war
Children wake coughing
Flames at the door
A shadow in the fire
Steps through the glow
Kokujin smiling
Like he’s always known
Elizabeth’s hair
Catching light like a torch
Benjamin laughing
As the rooftops scorch
Alice walks barefoot
Through the falling glass
Baby Alexander
Claps at the crash
Chorus
Ashes of Tyson
You thought it ended there
You left him in the silence
You breathed that easy air
But a promise made in dying breath
Still cuts you like a blade
Ashes of Tyson
Are all that you have saved
Bridge
You wanted a monster
You made him a grave
You buried a warning
Now nothing is safe
City of heroes
Running
Erased
Every proud banner
Falling in flame
Kokujin’s voice
Over crackling stone
"This is the future
You planted and grown"
Elizabeth hums
As the bell tower falls
Benjamin howls
At your crumbling walls
Alice just whispers
"Brother was right"
Alexander giggles
At the red in the night (hey)
Chorus
Ashes of Tyson
You thought it ended there
You left him in the silence
You breathed that easy air
But a promise made in dying breath
Still cuts you like a blade
Ashes of Tyson
Nothing left to save
Ashes of Tyson
Drift through the blackened rain
Every hero breathing
Breathes in his name
You killed the son
But the blood still came
Ashes of Tyson
Are all that will remain
