Ashes - Mina Rose

Dark smoke blowing

I see an orange hue

Left unknowing

Green fields edge of view

Real fear don’t know what to do

Floating point of view

Feel the heat beneath my dry eyes

Feeling the heavy air

Seeing the thoughts of a glare

Caught in this very snare

With my hands against the window

Down there hoping

They see the orange hue

Left unknowing

Liar!

She should be turning in her sleep

Babylon feeds in the belly of the best

Fire!

You see that its burning through our teeth

London she burns

Feel the heat of the street

Riot!

She should be turning in her sleep

Babylon feeds in the belly of the best

Liar!

Liar!

Liar!

Ashes under your own feet

Dem nuh care bout the people dem

Dem nuh give ah damn

Mi slew down Goliath with a sling inna mi hand

And tun' round di fiyah put it pon Babylon

Dem prime ministers and dem false elections

Dem only come bout ah deal with separation

From constituencies and jurisdiction

Coulda do plenty more fi help di situation

But dem rather point dem fingers and say ah who wrong

«Ay mi nuh like how dem divide society, inna upper class, middle class and

lower class

Ay politican ah one class

London ah bun down!»

Liar!

She should be turning in her sleep

Babylon feeds in the belly of the best

Fire!

You see that its burning through our teeth

London she burns

Feel the heat of the street

Riot!

She should be turning in her sleep

Babylon feeds in the belly of the best

Liar!

Liar!

Liar!

Ashes under your own feet

Green fields edge of view

Ashes under your own feet

Ashes under your own feet

Green fields edge of view

Ashes under your own feet

Ashes under your own feet

Real fear don’t know what to do

Belly of the best

Liar!

Liar!

Liar!

She should be turning in her sleep

Babylon feeds in the belly of the best

Fire!

You see that its burning through our teeth

London she burns

Feel the heat of the street

Riot!

She should be turning in her sleep

Babylon feeds in the belly of the best

Liar!

Liar!

Liar!

Ashes under your own feet
