about

I think there are 8 guitar parts in this song. Either way, it's one of my favorite songs that I've done.

lyrics

My City of Ashes stretches to the sky
Where red falls down
And the ash fills my lungs and I can't breathe anymore

And the thunder crashes and the band marches on
As the streets fill with the debris of loves past
And all that the crowd can hear is the music that is playing for them...

Crash the cymbals and let me learn from my mistakes
Let my red heart fall from the sky so I may catch it
And all this time the band plays on
Regardless of the soot that fills their instruments

And the clouds open up and let forth the rain
And the ash finally goes away

And the thunder crashes and the band marches on
As the streets fill with the rain to wash away loves past
And the crowd finally notices how beautiful it all is

My City of Ashes stretches to the sky
Where red falls down
And the ash fills my lungs and I can't breathe anymore

My City of Ashes stretches to the sky
And finally in my desperation
It has become what I set out to make it become
My City of Ashes...
