Through Ash Testo

The burning lumber spit embers as if to say
“Let’s get out of this fucking pit”
Pining for the surprise of pale giants miles off
The quiet churn of flame
A sound somewhere between
A whisper and a distant roar

I’ve always wanted that warmth
But if that’s the cost
Love, forgive me for saying this But I’ll pay it
Please don’t ask me to, because I will

Feed me your wounds
Feed me your past
And I shall burn this cage, burn this cage
That ye may stand
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind, leave it all behind

I obliged
In the blaze, I found my tears
But The Fire dried them up and warmed my heart
In that moment I was my name
The Fire spoke, “I need you, my witness”
Showed me a joyous ocean and how I am to lift it
Said “Chin up. Don’t quit, kid”
Then we laughed in rhythm- The going gets tough

Lay my fear in a bed of broken chains Sing victory by day
Then night falls
To a bed of knives I crawl
And I let the demons hurt me

But I tell them:

“Feed me your wounds
Feed me your past
And I shall burn this cage, burn this cage
That we may stand, oh”

In the purr and crackling
I heard The Blaze
Speak my name
And It spoke my words, spoke my words
As It said
“Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind, oh”

Feed me your wounds
Feed me your wounds
And I shall burn it, I shall burn this cage
Burn this cage that we...
Feed me your wounds
Feed me your wounds
And I shall burn it, I shall burn!
