Fires of War

Stone by stone
Cracked, crushed, fallen
Beauty burned, erased
But not forgotten
I’ll take your melodies
May your last breath
Fill the air with embers
I inhale
In their blood
I will stand
Let the waning light of my hand
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
‘Till our time burns away
Until our embers fade to grey
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
My grief is swollen
In rusting chains
Tell it to the killing we’ll (?)
Sun up, sun down
Sun up, sun down again
One burning candle
One wind with flames
They carry in my teeth like an animal
Ventures my strength
In their blood
I will stand
Let the waning light of my hand
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
‘Till our time burns away
Until our embers fade to grey
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
