Embers

I tried to keep this flame alight
Let it die, oh let it die
The embers tell of its demise
Let them die, oh let them die
Once this fire burned so bright, now a memory left behind
Let it die, oh let it die
Fade away
Never one to let go, I should have known that it would be this way
Could have faded with the dawn, forced to flicker for another day
In the heat of it all, just a means to an end
Severed from the embrace of your will and intent
Fade away
