Foundations of Ash - Winterfylleth

As though a Phoenix doth ruins burn

Stricken with by-gone years

As fire devours frail bodies so

Life moves throughout its journey

The spirits of fated ones

From flesh and bones advance

The funeral pyres burn red!

Yet to it returns, after time and space

A life restored anew

When that the ashes now begin

From the force of flames

To join and fuse again!

Though buildings were of ruin

The flames did cease and cool

Bone-cases all but broken

The burning now turned blue

Then from the pile, a likeness

In the spring sun’s gleam doth grow!

The sign of sun as giving hope

Up over oceans, of noble stars delight

A sparkling gem, as though in gold encased

By smiths' artifice, it has been set!
