Ashwalker

Between the realm of living
And the abyss of death
My shadow walks alone
A sigh, an empty breath

Now as I came to nothing
By purpose doomed as strife
A noble lie revealed
I've cursed my afterlife

In memory, I was noble
By birthright, I would judge
But I was harshly wronged
I suffer for their grudge

A gold-stained bloodied crown
A mimic sign of might
Removed when I was stricken
My wrongs became their right

A whispered pain
In hollowed wind
That tells me how I sinned

By my flaws
In ash reborn
I walk in aching scorn

What once was blind for me
Became my only truth
My soul was rotted out
Predestined waste of youth

Now when you hear my tale
Beware your steps as well
'Cause if you judge by ash
You'll join me in this Hel

A whispered pain
In hollowed wind
That tells me how I sinned

By my flaws
In ash reborn
I walk in aching scorn
