from ashes to snow

There were clouds all around
And our sun refused to show
The chamber door was held shut
By winter's latest snow
We were both huddled close
To keep from the mounting chill
Like a scene from a tale
Time seemed to stand still

I remembered each breath
That made you rise and fall
I remembered the way
The cold was reflected off the wall
And your voice was all I heard
It gave me what I'd deserve

So give me the reason
To prove them wrong
And wash the hatred clean
Let these thoughts disappear
From the gaze of your eyes
Give me reason
to write the book
That would tell them all
What it took to change
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Among their scattered minds

There was no one to see
The scene that we abandoned
There was nothing to hide
The ashes fell like the snow
And the roof caved in
That forced us away
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me the reason
To prove them wrong
And wash the hatred clean
Let these thoughts disappear
From the gaze of your eyes
Among their scattered minds

In every loss
In every lie
In every truth that they would deny
And each regret
And each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me the reason
To prove them wrong
And wash the hatred clean
Let these thoughts disappear
From the gaze of your eyes

Give me reason
to write the book
That would tell them all
What it took to change
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Among their scattered minds
