Story behind the song
Orignally this was a poem I wrote in college which I adapted into a song with the help of my co-writer Mark E. Ellis for the musical "Revelations".
Lyrics
ALL FALL DOWN
Lyrics by Peter Merz and Mark E. Ellis
Music by Mark E. Ellis
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Hear the gunfire, hit the ground
Drugs and violence and sex
Don't nobody give respect
Local gangs kill each other
See what's coming next.
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Don't you move, don't make a sound.
The Black Death of yesterday
Meets the spread of AIDS today
Things seems to be getting worse
Have we thrown it all away?
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Vicious cycle all downtown
Junkies, pushers, pimps and whores,
Everyone is out to score.
Broken lives, unread pages
Knocking on the devil's door.
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Still the world keeps spinning 'round
Where have all the Christians gone?
How'd the darkness get so strong?
Empty churches now proclaim
Where did we go wrong?
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
REPEAT TO END
