Ash and Thorns

[Verse] Somewhere where trees and magic meet Stalks a winged beast bound by plight, Smoke and ash are promises of the heat A price far to steep, The ravenous desire to yearn But in his soul it still yearns of a heartburn [Verse 2] A beast’s hopes and desperation as fragile As the longing to embrace the sky, A symbol of the curse that he has borne, A lover’s thorn’s curses the love to fly, The smoke of guilt blinds the forest that now bemoans Clawing at his soul a flame that burns The desire to never be alone [Chorus] Thorns and vines (moving like a haunting breeze) Thorns that Binds (But his spirit won't cower) Thorns and vines (He won't be at ease) Thorns that Binds (Kindness blooms like winter’s flower) [Bridge] A beast that thrashes, craving splinters, A dryad enraged by the callous of love, They’re the fuel and the fire that still lingers, The sadness in-between, Forgotten is the feeling of care it seems. Once was a bird that sings at a hearth Now remains the cursed forest of their love The trees that listen to be blight of earth, To take one life the other did the same, Resentment lies now in the forest and the thorn [Verse 3] Penance comes in form of disasters, Perseverance striking like thunder on bloody hands Strength held by seashells foretold of stars Emotion forge of metal music boxes Humbled will be the harmony of sea water scars [Verse 3] Penance comes in form of disasters, Perseverance striking like thunder on bloody hands Strength held by seashells foretold of stars Emotion forge of metal music boxes Humbled will be the harmony of sea water scars [Chorus] Thorns and vines (moving like a haunting breeze) Thorns that Binds (But his spirit won't cower) Thorns and vines (He won't be at ease) Thorns that Binds (Kindness blooms like winter’s flower) [Outro] Made of embers are broken silences From ashes ignite alliances The beast stalks in plight one day his heart may light
