From Ruin - Khemmis

So here I rest

I’ve come undone

Somewhere behind these eyes

Rising from the thorns

Beyond the endless nightmares

There’s still a soul

I’m reaching out to catch a breath

To brave the storm

The fog is closing in

Upon a freezing night

Far from the love I’ve known

Give me the strength to carry on

Deep in the forest

I am alone again

A warmth begins to rise

Fighting back the dread

And when I close my eyes

I swear I smell the smoke

I used to know before the fall

And now you’re gone

There’s a fire

Set ablaze in my heart

Casting a shadow

On the cycle of my thoughts

That pull me away

From the dance of the gods

Leave it behind me

To burn in the dawning light

Sure as the spring

Casts light on the snow

I have awakened

To the ashes anew

They’re burning away

Though I yearn to hold on

Knowing that I can accept this life

Unblinded, renewed

Out of the darkest night

No one could help me find the way

But in the new spring dawn

I find the strength to carry on
