Crowned in Ash
Lyrics
Night on the mountain’s spine
Black stars refuse to shine
Wind carries a nameless call
Shadows rising tall
Steps through ash and ancient stone
A pilgrim carved from bone
Serpents coil in desert sand
Time obeys no hand
Eyes like embers in the cave
Dreams the old gods gave
Every breath a vow unspoken
Every silence broken
Feel the darkness start to turn
Hear the hidden lantern burn
Into the black we climb
Beyond the edge of time
Drums of the earth resound
Lost and finally found
Into the flame we fall
Answer the ancient call
Hearts like thunder cry
We do not kneel, we rise
Mirrors made of smoke and glass
See the future in the past
Every fear a shedding skin
Let the deeper rite begin
Mountains breathe in minor tones
Echo through our bones
Step by step the rhythm grows
Like a river overflowed
Tension bending iron skies
Fire waking in our eyes
Ahh ahh ahh
The veil is torn apart
Ahh ahh ahh
The drum becomes the heart
Circle wide and circle slow
Let the hidden current flow
Higher through the night
Deeper into light
Into the black we rise
Flame in our closed eyes
Storm and spirit unified
No more place to hide
Into the fire we run
Darker than the sun
From the shadow we are born
Crowned in ash and storm
Wind across the stone
We ascend alone
Echoes linger on
