In the Valley of Ashes Songtext

von Trail of Tears

Take me to your secret place
Reveal all hidden tears that fell
Along the way
Open up, show me you face
Behind that mask of stone you made
It's time to change

[Chorus]
We cherish what we built
And buried what was lost
We said our goodbyes to the ones we loved
It's time to move on
I know that you are tired
I know that you are drained
Wipe the tears from your face and shine with grace
Our lives will flourish and prosper yet again
Our time is now
Celebrate as horns of triumph sounds
Here in the valley of ashes we'll build new dreams

Tell the story without frames
Don't leave yourself alone again
In burning shame
As the words stars to take shape
Your heart is near the breaking point
In search of truth

Filth. Soiled.
Tons and tons of human waste

Filth. Soiled.
Laid to rest

[Chorus]
We cherish what we built
And buried what was lost
We said our goodbyes to the ones we loved
It's time to move on
I know that you are tired
I know that you are drained
Wipe the tears from your face and shine with grace
Our lives will flourish and prosper yet again
Our time is now
Celebrate as horns of triumph sounds
Here in the valley of ashes we'll build new dreams
