Track Insight / Lyrics
Charred beams arch like ribs of prayer
Oar rests silent in the mud
Flame licks copper, strips the air
Heat and water, ancient blood
Soot cakes the gunwale, gray and deep
Ash falls where the dead gods sleep
Bell toll cracked from tower stones
Rhythm matches drone to drones
Ash and oar, the tide turns slow
Firelink burns but lets me go
Choir voice in baritone
Breaks to falsetto, pure and known
Estus flask sits warm in wood
Cinders kiss the splintered keel
Knight's armor rusts where silence stood
Time unspools on waterwheel
Soot cakes the gunwale, gray and deep
Ash falls where the dead gods sleep
Bell toll cracked from tower stones
Rhythm matches drone to drones
Ash and oar, the tide turns slow
Firelink burns but lets me go
Choir voice in baritone
Breaks to falsetto, pure and known
Hollows wander shore in chains
Eyes reflect the orange glow
Rowboat holds what fire stains
Ashes drift where currents flow
Ash and oar, the tide turns slow
Firelink burns but lets me go
Choir voice in baritone
Breaks to falsetto, pure and known
First flame gutters, wind rises sharp
Embers ride the thermal lift
Oar bites water, clean depart
Shrine recedes in sooty drift
Ash and oar, the tide turns slow
Firelink burns but lets me go
Choir voice in baritone
Breaks to falsetto, pure and known
Horizon drinks the final spark
Water holds what fire ate
Baritone dissolves to dark
Falsetto climbs the morning gate
Ash and oar, the tide turns slow
Firelink burns but lets me go
Choir voice in baritone
Breaks to falsetto, pure and known
Harmonies stack, alto, low
Hymn half-remembered, learned, not shown
Oar dips. Ash settles. Cold.
Rowboat moves where fire ruled.
