[Verse 1]
So I burned all the old days down
On a funeral pyre
And I stood with my arms stretched out
Like a pillar of fire of fire - of fire
In the coals of a wordless sound
I am here to inquire
I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)

[Chorus]
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside

[Verse 2]
Well I carried it down to the sea
And I held it up higher
Yeah I fell on my bended knees
And I beckoned the tide - the tide
Oh take this away from me
On your fathoms of brine
‘Cause I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)

[Chorus]
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside
[Refrain]
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

[Verse 3]
And when I looked in the depths of my hands
I could see I was blind
As the glow of the day now was wrapped
In a cloak of the night - the night
Now it seems all the answers I had
Are the hardest to find
And I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)
I need to know tonight (tonight tonight)

[Chorus]
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside
[Refrain]
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
