John Van Deusen Lyrics
"8-6-45"

Ashes and ashes, rain upon rooftops
Embers floating into a gray sky
The crimson sun
She weeps this mornin'

Raise the flag thousands of miles away
Pride and justice boasting in the wind
Birthed from the death of thousands
Peace is inevitable

And your cloth can't hold your faith
And you won't solve war with blood
Pray for rain, pray for peace
Suffocate your hatred, you arrogant pig

Look what we have sold
Every solution bleeds atop your floor
Slip on the blood
Slip on the blood

Raise the flag thousands of miles away
Pride and justice boasting in the wind
Birthed from the death of thousands
Peace is inevitable

Your cloth can't hold your faith
And you won't solve war with blood
Pray for rain, pray for peace
Suffocate your hatred, you arrogant pig
Arrogant pig, ooh

Ashes and ashes, rain upon rooftops
Embers floating into a gray sky
Our torn flag
She weeps this night, oh

Your cloth can't hold your faith
And you won't solve war with blood
Pray for rain, pray for peace
Suffocate your hatred, you arrogant pig
Arrogant pig, ooh
