William Reedy: Music
Embers Glow
(Words and Music by William Reedy)
Mama labored, I was born
Sowed my seeds among the thorns
I've seen some strangers in my time
Speaking tongues I understand
Seen them suffer, heard them cry
Seen them talking to the sky
Where life departs, where death remains
Where the phoenix burns
The fire dies, embers glow
See the smoke, rising high
On the horizon, in the sky
The sun may never shine the same
The clouds are thick with licks of flame
The weak are many, the mighty are few
The weak are running away, and the mighty too
The earth is hot, the ashes are white
They turn to powder
The fire dies, embers glow
