lyrics

Ash Wednesday

Where the new moon expired
I slept, but my heart was awake
Scatter the ashes of what used to be
Confessing in the light of Your flame

Coming back home as the mercury and the snow come down
Giving You all of me that I am able
Intentions burned up, down to the ground, like ashes & dust
Feasting on the crumbs from Your table
I’m feasting on the crumbs from Your table

Running to You like a child
Scared of the edges of the night
A cross of ashes in Your home with no walls
Begging Your flame to be my light

Coming back home as the mercury and the snow come down
Giving You all of me that I am able
Intentions burned up, down to the ground, like ashes & dust
Feasting on the crumbs from Your table
I’m feasting on the crumbs from Your table

Forty days
Shades of black & white & grey
Forty days
Shades of black & white & grey

Coming back home as the mercury and the snow come down
Giving You all of me that I am able
Intentions burned up, down to the ground, like ashes & dust
Feasting on the crumbs from Your table
Feasting on the crumbs
I’m feasting on the crumbs
I’m feasting on the crumbs from Your table
