Hearth of Ashes.1

[Verse 1] I woke in a world of gold and bone With a borrowed name and a cracked-out throne There were elves in the trees, wolves at the gate And a knight with a blade and a prayer for fate The demons laughed by the river bend Vampires smiled like they’d never end Dragons circled the blackened peak And every stranger had a different creed [Pre-Chorus] I said, where do I go? Who do I trust? The road was smoke The sky was dust Then you took my hand Like you knew my pain Said every lost soul Can learn their name [Chorus] Take me home, take me through This broken world I woke into Dragon fire, silver rain I’ll find my way through joy and pain Take me home, don’t let me fall I was made for this after all Elves and demons, blood and light I’ll still stand here, I’ll still fight [Verse 2] We crossed the marsh where the dead sang low Past ruined towers in the frost-blue snow A werewolf girl with a scarred-up grin Said, “Keep moving, friend, the dark lets in” A vampire lord in a velvet hall Offered peace with a poison call But the knight at my side never bowed his head He chose the truth and the road ahead [Pre-Chorus] I felt my fear Turn into flame Every old wound Started to change If this is a dream Then let it burn I came too far To not return [Chorus] Take me home, take me through This broken world I woke into Dragon fire, silver rain I’ll find my way through joy and pain Take me home, don’t let me fall I was made for this after all Elves and demons, blood and light I’ll still stand here, I’ll still fight [Bridge] In the hollow of the final war I heard my old life at the door But the harp kept time, and the flute kept clear Saying, “You belong, you belong here” So I raised my voice to the shattered sky With every race that had passed me by And the dark fell back like a tide in grief When a lost heart chose to believe [Final Chorus] Take me home, take me through This broken world I woke into Dragon fire, silver rain I’ll find my way through joy and pain Take me home, don’t let me fall I was made for this after all Elves and demons, blood and light I’ll still stand here, I’ll still fight I’ll still stand here I’ll still fight
