Track Insight / Lyrics
In reeking smoke, the firelight's dance
A lonely beacon where my path unwinds
Gnarled trees loom like specters in chains
I press on, no refuge from this downfall's din
Each footfall echoes, like a dying knell
Keeps me moving, never time to dwell
On Pyromancies failed, sorceries that fell
Only the ember's heat, the count keeps me well
I race the dawn, compass in burning hand
Through ash and shattered spires, a desperate stand
For the sake of the Crown, of ancient land
I won't falter, the fire's light my command
Flickering torches cast a demon's grin
Where faded warnings tell of souls left within
I trudge on through the mire, where reptiles writhe
Ignored, their hisses, a maddening, endless fight
Each footfall echoes, like a dying knell
Keeps me moving, never time to dwell
On Pyromancies failed, sorceries that fell
Only the ember's heat, the count keeps me well
I race the dawn, compass in burning hand
Through ash and shattered spires, a desperate stand
For the sake of the Crown, of ancient land
I won't falter, the fire's light my command
Grounded statues stand, like captives in a trance
Relics of a people, long since sinceance
The wind howls plaintive, mournful andance
A dirge of loss, that rings through this strange dance
Each footfall echoes, like a dying knell
Keeps me moving, never time to dwell
On Pyromancies failed, sorceries that fell
Only the ember's heat, the count keeps me well
Dread of night's chill, when shadows come alive
My heart's a hammer, pounding in my chest
The only sound, beside my weary stride
This quest to find, what legend said would rest
I'll count till dawn, through Emberfall's gates
Into the light, where my fate awaits
The Crown's rebirth, from eternal slumber
With last ember dying, my journey will be done
The fire's pit, a smoldering dark hole
My final step, into the rosy morning role
I've counted the moments, through despair and cold
The dawn breaks, I've reached my goal.
