Expired film in coat pocket
Bus ticket stubs I'll never lock it
Viewfinder cracked framing ruin
Dawn arrives I'm still moving
Iron lens eats orange glow
Rust creeps slow where embers flow
Coiled sword leans on cold stone
Fire keeper sits alone
Rust and ember rust and ember
Watchman's light will not remember
Bonfire pops the metal weeps
Ash in lens the shutter sleeps
Thumbnails burned at edges black
No return path no way back
Estus flask reflects my face
Hollow eyes in ruined place
Rust and ember rust and ember
Watchman's light will not remember
Bonfire pops the metal weeps
Ash in lens the shutter sleeps
Pizzicato strings pluck time
Clockwork syncopated chime
Prophet pads swell warm and wide
Rickenbacker dreams collide
Flashlight body orange peel
Rusted shut no longer real
Bonfire spits a dying spark
Light gives way to approaching dark
Last frame winds the camera dies
Bus engine coughs morning lies
Negative holds the shrine's decay
Develop later far away
Rust and ember rust and ember
Watchman's light will not remember
Bonfire pops the metal weeps
Ash in lens the shutter sleeps
Rust and ember rust and ember
Dawn breaks cold on Firelink ember
Shutter clicks flashlight fades
Ash on negative memory stays
