Ash on My Boots

เนื้อเพลง

[Intro] Ash on my boots, iron in my hand I wake where the ruined towers stand [Verse 1] Every dusk brings another gate Black horns crowd at the city wall I count the names we couldn't save Then answer when the sentries call [Pre-Chorus] You can circle my door You can rattle every chain I have buried fear before I will bury it again [Chorus] I slay demons every night and day Cut through the teeth that block my way If the dark keeps sending more I'll make a grave outside the door I won't kneel, I won't break I am the fire they cannot take I slay demons every night and day Till the last red flame gives way [Verse 2] Morning finds me with a split lip Salt and rust beneath my nails The butcher beast has learned my name But every lesson ends in scales [Pre-Chorus] Let the old bells roar Let the dead rise from the clay I have faced the pit before And walked back into the day [Chorus] I slay demons every night and day Cut through the teeth that block my way If the dark keeps sending more I'll make a grave outside the door I won't kneel, I won't break I am the fire they cannot take I slay demons every night and day Till the last red flame gives way [Breakdown] No throne No master No chain around my throat Bring your claws Bring your hunger I will turn it into smoke One more step One more wound One more monster on the ground When the abyss calls my name I answer with a battle sound [Bridge] And if my hands begin to shake I grip the blade for every sake Of all the hearts still beating here Of every child who sleeps without fear [Final Chorus] I slay demons every night and day Cut through the teeth that block my way If the dark keeps sending more I'll make a grave outside the door I won't kneel, I won't break I am the fire they cannot take I slay demons every night and day Till the last red flame gives way [Outro] Ash on my boots, dawn in my eyes The gates are shut, the black tide dies Tomorrow night, if shadows crawl I'll be the first to face them all
