Crushed Embers

A woman with a voice full of tears

Absent from her place among us

All the joy had gone from her

All this aching must find an end

An ox pulls away her ghost – I’ll be your echo again

And in that very moment, I was your echo again

And those that wept for you

Forget their weeping soon

As the blood drops slowly

From the fingers of God

Dark fears travel with me

And it’s deeper than fear

I waited such a long time and questioned my sanity

You hunted at the wrong time and fell in pain to your knees

A woman with a voice full of tears

Absent from her place among us

All the joy had gone from her

All this aching must find an end

I waited such a long time and questioned my sanity

You hunted at the wrong time and fell in pain to your knees

I faded from my bloodline and took leave of humanity
