Embers in the sky

Teetering off the edge
A final sacrifice, they said
My window’s closing, I am burning
Ashes of a story unread

And I can taste the smoke
Settling like the last words I spoke
I close my eyes, ready to die
A destiny can’t be revoked

And I am
Embers in the sky
Glittering down
For when the time is right

I’m a fire, a wild flame
And you’ll never forget my name
My blazing heart belongs to you
Please stop grieving, I’m coming soon

And at the end we stand
Love, storm, fire, whole again
Memories spin, uncoil within
I’m smiling ‘till the very end

It’s getting way too hot
A battle better left unfought
I’ll see you on the other side
It has been one hell of a ride

And I am
Embers in the sky
Glittering down
For when the time is right

I’m a fire, a wild flame
And you’ll never forget my name
My blazing heart belongs to you
Please stop grieving, I’m coming soon

Hold your breath for one more second
This will all be over soon
Bloodwritten predestination
Make this sacrifice for you

I’m extraneous and fighting
But I know I’m not pushed off
Stand together, till the end
It’s not sacrifice without love

And I am
Embers in the sky
Glittering down
For when the time is right

I’m a fire, a wild flame
And you’ll never forget my name
My blazing heart belongs to you
Please stop grieving, I’m coming soon
