The last blossom

Lyrics

The trunk is charred, the branches bend The smoke is all that’s left of when The fire took what once was green Everything I’ve ever seen They say let go, let it turn to ash But I will hold, I will not crash Though the wood is breaking, though the dark is deep I will keep this blossom, I will make it keep One last flower, one last breath Defying the ruin, defying death I will not break, I will not fall This one small bloom will outlast it all Outlast it all Outlast it all The heat it claws, the wind it screams They think they’ve killed all living things But in the crack where embers glow One single hope refuses to go It drinks the ash, it drinks the rain It bears the fruit of all this pain Though the wood is breaking, though the dark is deep I will keep this blossom, I will make it keep One last flower, one last breath Defying the ruin, defying death I will not break, I will not fall This one small bloom will outlast it all Outlast it all Outlast it all When the fire is done and the smoke clears away This seed will rise from the ashes one day Stronger than steel, rooted deep in the ground Where nothing stood before, new life will be found Though the wood is breaking, though the dark is deep I will keep this blossom, I will make it keep One last flower, one last breath Defying the ruin, defying death I will not break, I will not fall This one small bloom will outlast it all Outlast it all Outlast it all
