White ashes Like stardust Cover this place A thin blanket White ashes Like old dust Cover this place Untouched White ashes Like snow Cover this place It's cold White ashes From old flames Settled Into their new home A fire raged on Burned everything Ate wood and flesh Took life and brought death It started in the darkness Illuminated the shadows Leaving black coal And white ash Consumed Until the earth was scorched And barren And lifeless Roared Like a beast And feasted upon Sleeping bodies Died When it killed All that it could Like a reaper Gone As easily as it started Burned bright hot Now cold as ice All that's left Is an acrid smell Black coal and White ashes

White Ashes
White ashes Like stardust Cover this place A thin blanket White ashes Like old dust Cover this place Untouched White ashes Like snow Cover this place It's cold White ashes From old flames Settled Into their new home A fire raged on Burned everything Ate wood and flesh Took life and brought death It started in the darkness Illuminated the shadows Leaving black coal And white ash Consumed Until the earth was scorched And barren And lifeless Roared Like a beast And feasted upon Sleeping bodies Died When it killed All that it could Like a reaper Gone As easily as it started Burned bright hot Now cold as ice All that's left Is an acrid smell Black coal and White ashes
