Charred hull floats on ashen water
Bonfire cracks its orange quarter
Silver knight sinks heavy slaughter
Estus vial glows pale and lighter
Breath holds like a chant suspended
Gray ash falls on gunwale wood
Hymn rises half remembered
Alto voices where fire stood
Ash boat drifting firelink shore
Choir breath rising core to core
Oar cuts deep through gray and gore
Song burns clean on ruined floor
Cinder block where great bell rang
Hollow logs serve as seating now
Ashen estus leaves bitter tang
Silent vows with heads bowed low
Breath holds like a chant suspended
Gray ash falls on gunwale wood
Hymn rises half remembered
Alto voices where fire stood
Ash boat drifting firelink shore
Choir breath rising core to core
Oar cuts deep through gray and gore
Song burns clean on ruined floor
Oar wood scorched by ember kiss
My ragged breath forms clouded prayer
Latin verses half dismissed now
Alto voices in smoke and air
Ash boat drifting firelink shore
Choir breath rising core to core
Oar cuts deep through gray and gore
Song burns clean on ruined floor
Firekeeper tends no flame today
The empty throne sits cold and bare
I row slow and speak your name
Gray dawn breaks on Lordran stone now
Ash boat drifting firelink shore
Choir breath rising core to core
Oar cuts deep through gray and gore
Song burns clean on ruined floor
The ash boat finds its final rest
The choir folds to morning light
Last embers fade on Firelink west
Pale dawn breaks on Lordran stone
Ash boat drifting firelink shore
Choir breath rising core to core
Oar cuts deep through gray and gore
Song burns clean on ruined floor
Oar rests now on ashen sand
Last hymn fades from baritone
