Ashes Under the Standing Stones

Описание: Verse I
Cold iron bells are calling my name
Through moss-covered graves and a pagan flame
I walk with the ghosts of a broken crown
Barefoot prayers on unholy ground

The river remembers every sin
It hums like a harp with a tremor within
My blood is old, my hope is thin
A druid’s curse carved into skin

Pre-Chorus
Mother of ravens, tear out the sun
This war was lost before it begun

Chorus
I kneel where the standing stones bleed
With a throat full of grief and no god to plead
Sing me a hymn in a dead man’s key
I was never meant to be free

Let the fog take my bones tonight
I’ve made peace with the endless night
Crown of thorns, cloak of lead
I live like the living dead

Verse II
Oak and ash in a silent ring
The past still pulls on a rusted string
I hear my name in the wolf wind’s cry
Every vow I made came here to die

The moon hangs low like a guilty eye
Watching sons of the old world cry
Steel in my hand, dirt in my mouth
North in my veins, rot in the south

Pre-Chorus
Saints are mute and gods have fled
Faith tastes like iron and bread like lead

Chorus
I kneel where the standing stones bleed
With a throat full of grief and no god to plead
Sing me a hymn in a dead man’s key
I was never meant to be free

Let the fog take my bones tonight
I’ve made peace with the endless night
Crown of thorns, cloak of lead
I live like the living dead

Bridge
Drums in the dark, slow funeral skin
Heart beats like war I’ll never win
If salvation ever knew my face
It turned to stone in this cursed place

Final Chorus (half-time, heavier)
I kneel where the standing stones bleed
Every ancestor screaming in me
Carve my name into oak and flame
History forgets but pain remains

Let the fog take my bones tonight
No heaven waits, no final light
Crown of thorns, cloak of lead
I was born already dead

Outro
Ash to ash, bone to bone
The old songs claim me as their own
