Track Insight / Lyrics
He wipes the counter with a greasy rag
Night shift coffee in a chipped tin mug
The shrine stones hum a low and tired song
Ten thousand chosen fade and pass along
Wind picks up the embers, makes them dance
Vane groans loud, takes a fighting stance
Fire flickers, shadows stretch and yawn
Rooster waits for dawn that never spawned
Copper rooster spins on rusted crown
Bonfire gutters, barely hanging down
Ash winds blow but he won't turn and run
Points to north until the morning sun
Regular hollows order toast and tea
Crush the darksign, swear they're finally free
Cook just laughs, refills the bottomless cup
Knows the cycle spins them back right up
Wind picks up the embers, makes them dance
Vane groans loud, takes a fighting stance
Flame gutters deep, the dark closes in
Rooster grins with a beak of tin
Copper rooster spins on rusted crown
Bonfire gutters, barely hanging down
Ash winds blow but he won't turn and run
Points to north until the morning sun
Knight in gold drops coins on sticky wood
Talks of glory, misunderstood
Vane catches light, a flash of green and gold
Story of the fire, newly told
No bell tolls here, just the grill's flat scream
Estus steam rises like a lost dream
Copper bird don't judge, don't preach, don't pray
Just points the way the wind decides today
Copper rooster spins on rusted crown
Bonfire gutters, barely hanging down
Ash winds blow but he won't turn and run
Points to north until the morning sun
Ash settles deep in the keyboard's crack
Cook clocks out, don't look forward, don't look back
Rooster keeps his vigil, patient, made of wire
Bonfire's heartbeat, faint but steady fire
Copper rooster spins on rusted crown
Bonfire gutters, barely hanging down
Ash winds blow but he won't turn and run
Points to north until the morning sun
Copper rooster, spin slow, spin true
Firelink waits for the chosen few
Copper rooster turns on rusted spindle
Ash wind blows the bonfire low and thin
