Purchase “Angel In The Ashes“ here: Bandcamp: iTunes: Amazon: “I’ve been wanting to do another charity single since we had such a great experience the first time around,“ says Smith. “The challenge was finding the time and the appropriate cause, as well as putting together a lineup worthy of the caliber of talent we had on the last song. I think we did it!“ “The song is about someone who decides to take that first step to help a person in a dark or dangerous situation. I was talking to some friends of mine who live in Greece, and every weekend they help feed the huge number of poor, homeless and refugee families in that area. It’s a massive need, and the dollar you spend on this song can make a huge difference in providing a hot meal or a blanket for someone. It’s a very worthy cause, and everyone involved in the track freely gave their time and talent to make this happen. We hope you enjoy it!“ ANGEL IN THE ASHES (Music & lyrics: Matt Smith) She caught a glimpse of those who wished to sail away The spectre of a dream to chase a better day The promise of a brand new start And she always said the visions left a mark The remnants of a stain tattooed upon her heart She watched them as they moved together Formed in pain, spirits gone Like armies slain, yet marching on Legions grow, faces change Yet after all the chaos, darkness still remains She’s never the same... One more revolution turn Watch the madhouse burn Carry on, carry on Rising angel in the ashes Shimmer in the show Shining in the afterglow Fire falls from heaven down below To gaze upon the ones she’d never seen An architect of life repairing broken dreams With nothing but the gift of time She dared to be the first to cross the line Reflections of a selfless way and altered mind A past in shadow left so far behind Behind their eyes Thrown away like wreckage for some other day Compromised, to escape Forgotten no more Minds of millions wide awake It’s never too late... One more revolution turn Watch the madhouse burn Carry on, carry on Rising angel in the ashes Shimmer in the show Shining in the afterglow Fire falls from heaven down below Every life a choice to embrace Either looking on or turning away To extend a hand of mercy and grace And to carry on Hold the ones that the others denied And to walk through ashes right by their side And to be the angel, ever abide As they carry on (solo) One more revolution turn Watch the madhouse burn Carry on, carry on Rising angel in the ashes Shimmer in the show Shining in the afterglow Fire falls from heaven down below
