Trench coat heavy with the damp chill
Fingers count the steps up the hill
Brass button catches bonfire glow
Ash cakes deep where the hollows go
Coiled sword sleeps in the king's cold hand
Bell toll drowns out the dying land
Estus steam rises sharp and sweet
Warmth returns to frozen feet
We count the steps to keep the dark
Every footfall leaves a mark
Firelink stands though the walls are down
Sing the hymn of the lost and found
Badge tucked deep in the inner pocket
Walking paths where the gods once walked it
Crestfallen warrior mumbles prayer
Smoke curls thick in the stagnant air
We count the steps to keep the dark
Every footfall leaves a mark
Firelink stands though the walls are down
Sing the hymn of the lost and found
No siren wail no radio code
Just the crackle of the heavy load
Altos hum where the choir once sang
Hope is forged in the iron clang
Blacksmith hammer hits the anvil ring
Promises kept in the goods they bring
Titanite shards catch the orange light
Guiding the bearer through the night
Badge reflects the dancing flame
Soul level up speak the name
Shift ends here on the sacred stone
Fire keeps the king on his throne
We count the steps to keep the dark
Every footfall leaves a mark
Firelink stands though the walls are down
Sing the hymn of the lost and found
We count the steps to keep the dark
Every footfall leaves a mark
Firelink stands though the walls are down
Sing the hymn of the lost and found
Ash on wool the count is done
Dawn breaks white behind the sun
