Track Insight / Lyrics
You rock slow on splintered pine
Flames lick stone where gods resigned
Salt air bites your calloused hands
Ember wakes in dormant lands
Salt and cinder, bone and brine
You tend the fire, lost to time
No lens to sweep the darkened shore
Just coals that glow and ask for more
Estus flask sits cold and dented
Words unspoken, unrepented
Bell tolled once for those who fell
Now silence rings the ruined well
Chair groans deep like hull in swell
Memories rise from depths of hell
You scraped the soot from glass so clear
Now soot is all that lingers here
Salt and cinder, bone and brine
You tend the fire, lost to time
No lens to sweep the darkened shore
Just coals that glow and ask for more
Wind carries cinders through the arch
No keeper's log, no final march
The flame you guard was never yours
It burns behind these bolted doors
Dawn paints grey on crumbling brick
Your rocking rhythm, steady, thick
No ship to save, no light to trim
Just ash and song and bones of him
Salt and cinder, bone and brine
You tend the fire, lost to time
No lens to sweep the darkened shore
Just coals that glow and ask for more
Salt and cinder, bone and brine
The fire keeps its ancient time
