Take me to your secret place Reveal all hidden tears that fell Along the way Open up, show me you face Behind that mask of stone you made It's time to change
[Chorus:] We cherish what we built and buried what was lost We said our goodbyes to the ones we loved It's time to move on I know that you are tired I know that you are drained Wipe the tears from your face and shine with grace Our lives will flourish and prosper yet again Our time is now Celebrate as horns of triumph sounds Here in the valley of ashes we'll build new dreams
Tell the story without frames Don't leave yourself alone again in burning shame As the words stars to take shape Your heart is near the breaking point In search of truth
Filth. Soiled. Tons and tons of human waste
Filth. Soiled. Laid to rest
[Chorus:] We cherish what we built and buried what was lost We said our goodbyes to the ones we loved It's time to move on I know that you are tired I know that you are drained Wipe the tears from your face and shine with grace Our lives will flourish and prosper yet again Our time is now Celebrate as horns of triumph sounds Here in the valley of ashes we'll build new dreams
