Ashes in Bloom - Départe

Sing, oh children of loss

Your cracked hands grasping for wonder in emptiness

Stretching to the heavens from the depths of woe

Like diamonds buried in ash

Embers, smothered by the whispering ache of death

Staring blind into the unsound light

Still your breath slowly withers

Awake, awake, oh sleeper Shroud yourself in the radiance of the unfailing

Darkness is naught but a canvas

Void awaiting the stroke of dawn

Let not these bones remain as shadows, suspended on dust

Breathe in life and outshine this soundless ruin

This failure built on the vanity of man

Awake, oh sleeper Shroud yourself in light

Awake, awake, oh sleeper Shroud yourself in light
