The Ashes

Beyond the borders this year Straying to the edges We found the homes of giants We cleared out the trees We cast them down in envy Scorched into the deeps 'till all the earth was burning Daylight turning silver Changes in the heavens The stars would flare in anger The sea came rushing in The earth was torn asunder Mountains pouring flame The deeps would even shudder Everything's forgotten A pool of time laid empty The light of stories burning The whites of blinded eyes The spell of cedar dying A thousand ugly cries and all sound seemed to end The sea came rushing in The earth was torn asunder Mountains pouring flames The ashes of our Mother
