Your Ashes

Flames surrounding
And we're walking through graveyards –
Warriors of both sides
All soot beneath our feet

And she kneels down
Her first bow,
Uncharacteristic flaws consume her.

And she's crying now,
Breaking down
She can't see through the rubble,
Can't break free of this trouble
Of lost love and crashing emotions
And it took a hero to make her this way ~

Her pulse is mine now,
You lost it all,
She's in my embrace now
Grasping my shoulders
before she finally hits the ground
Finally falls out.

And she's crying now,
Breaking down
She can't see through the rubble,
Can't break free of this trouble
Of lost love and crashing emotions
And it took a hero to make her this way ~

I never thought I'd see her this way,
So insecure,
So unsure,
So pained without restraint

One last glance,
She's silent now
Your ashes enclosing
Fall into her tears
She can't shake you away.

And it took a hero to make her this way ~
