Ashes Ashes Ashes Ashes
Precious Ashes precious ashes
Ring around the rosies
A pocket full of posies
Ashes Ashes
We all fall down.
A city in mourning, a city in plague.
The houses are barred, lives are at stake.
The women are crying

the rats are a-roaming and people are dying
The rich men have all fled the town –
Proud London is bound to go down.
A bakershop’s oven brings forth more than bread:
The fire burns on as the baker lies dead.
And no one is knowing

The flames have escaped and the red seed is growing
The fire will do as it must
This city will soon burn to dust.
O Fire am I, the Great Fire you’ll call me
I rage and I ravage, I reap and destroy
O Fire am I, all world falls before me
My lust is in killing, I’m burning with joy.
The fires of heaven, the fires of hell
No matter who sent them, the fires burn well

Keep your sneeze to yourself when you’re wearing a mask.
Wearing a mask, wearing a mask
Keep your sneeze to yourself when you’re wearing a mask
So let’s flatten the curve, flatten the curve
There are things we can all do to flatten the curve.
I know it’s a stressful thing, sitting at home:
We all miss our freedom, and kids need to roam.
Don’t think those precautions a joke or a curse:
Being on ventilation is so much more worse.
So much more worse, so much more worse
Being on ventilation is certainly worse.
So keep wearing your mask, wearing your mask
Keep your sneeze to yourself when you’re wearing your mask
So let’s flatten the curve, flatten the curve
There are things we can all do to flatten the curve.… Weiterlesen
