Ash and Blood

I face the scorn where we once split our vows

The love once warm is but a coldness now

Through bitter storms, I navigate somehow

A sea forlorn, yet I will not bow

Bathe in darkness

Death incarnate

Sink your sharpness

For I lay heartless

Made of ash and blood, from the slums

Sculpt the sons from dust you aborted

But they are reborn in ash and blood, vow to none

Without us they're cursed, undone, fallen

I bear the weight where we once made our dreams

The fire we kindled now fades into seams

Through winds that howl, I sail on shattered beams

A soul betrayed, yet I'll defy the screams

Swim in sorrow

Fate's cold hand

Drown in the hollow

For I'll make my stand

With ash and blood

Just a drop in the sand

Cry me a flood

Filth in the land

With ash and blood

Will you understand

When shadows call

The world slips through the strands?

And you are caught by the flesh

Caught by the flesh

Bathe in darkness

Death incarnate

Sink your sharpness

For I lay heartless

(I'm laying heartless)

(I'm laying heartless)

(I'm laying heartless)

Bathe in starkness

"Noble highness"

Sink your bluntness

For I lay heartless

With ash
