Keeper scrapes soot from iron grates
Night wind rattles broken slates
Cook flips batter on seasoned steel
Regular wants his usual meal
Ash and eggs on Firelink stone
Keeper tends the dying drone
Cook pours coffee dark and deep
Promises the dawn to keep
Estus flask catches ember glow
Diner mug catches morning flow
Sword leans close against cold wall
Spatula rests on towel stall
Ash and eggs on Firelink stone
Keeper tends the dying drone
Cook pours coffee dark and deep
Promises the dawn to keep
Hollows wander lost and gray
Drunks stumble at break of day
Keeper strikes a match to wick
Cook lights burner flame kicks quick
Ash and eggs on Firelink stone
Keeper tends the dying drone
Cook pours coffee dark and deep
Promises the dawn to keep
Bonfire pops with bone and pine
Grill spits fat on heating line
Ash coats tongue like bitter salt
Grease coats fingers familiar fault
Two flames burn in separate night
One guards shore one feeds the light
Same hands tend the fragile spark
Same shadows stretch toward the dark
Dawn breaks across the ruined shrine
Dawn breaks across the counter line
Keeper banks the fire low
Cook flips the sign to closed let's go
Ash and eggs on Firelink stone
Keeper tends the dying drone
Cook pours coffee dark and deep
Promises the dawn to keep
Ash and eggs the shift is done
Two flames fade beneath the sun
Ember dies the grill goes cold
New shift starts when bells have tolled
