Ashes

Oh yeah.

Have you ever heard 'bout the people who burned
Somehow immediately down with no reason at all?
They didn't play with fire, they had no death wish
And it happened in a few minutes, it destroyed them completely.

Just like Dr. Bentley, when they found him
There was no smoke nor a spell but the ceiling was burned
They found his right leg and the morning gown
It was still intact but the doctor had gone.

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires.

There was nothing left
They found only ashes on the ground
No one could explain
No one would believe it, oh.

It's a phenomenon that's not often been seen
Like an inner heat burns the body complete
This is still a riddle that cuts us down to size
We are still quite helpless in our modern days.

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires.

There was nothing left
They found only ashes on the ground
No one could explain
No one would believe it.

There was nothing left
They found only ashes on the ground
In this case it seems that our rules
Are not worth a dime.

No way to run and hide
The flames come from inside
No way to run and hide
The flames come from inside, oh yeah.

There was nothing left
They found only ashes on the ground
No one could explain
No one would believe it.

There was nothing left
They found only ashes on the ground
In this case it seems that our rules
Are not worth a dime.
