Track Insight / Lyrics
I tend the lamp on cliff stone
Salt wind sings through bone and bone
Now I sit where flames once climbed
Firelink ruined, lost to time
Rosin dust on calloused thumb
Estus flask and silence hum
Hollows stare but do not speak
Promises we could not keep
Ash and bow on broken stone
Play the chord that leads us home
No grand choir, no golden light
Just a tune to last the night
Ash and bow, the fire keeps
Violin carved from driftwood pine
Strings hold brine and storm and brine
Fingerboard cracked by winter's kiss
Every note tastes like abyss
Rosin dust on calloused thumb
Estus flask and silence hum
Hollows stare but do not speak
Promises we could not keep
Ash and bow on broken stone
Play the chord that leads us home
No grand choir, no golden light
Just a tune to last the night
Ash and bow, the fire keeps
Coiled sword leans on weathered wall
Bell tolls once, no crowd to call
Music floats on ember wind
Scales the ruin, finds the end
I know the sea, I know the rock
I know the light that beats the clock
But here no lens cuts through the gray
Only song to mark the day
Ash and bow on broken stone
Play the chord that leads us home
No grand choir, no golden light
Just a tune to last the night
Ash and bow, the fire keeps
Morning comes, the fire dies low
One last phrase, then bow to bow
Keeper nods, the violin rests
Ash to ash, we pass the test
Ash and bow on broken stone
Play the chord that leads us home
No grand choir, no golden light
Just a tune to last the night
Ash and bow, the fire keeps
Ash and bow, the fire keeps
Strings go slack in morning dew
Keeper walks the cliff anew
