Ashes of the forgotten

Verse 1:

The clearing opens, charred and black

An altar waits, no turning back

Ash drifts like snow on broken stone

The forest feasts where the blood was sown

Pre-Chorus:

Shadows twist, the air is thick

Every breath a poisoned trick

Ancient hands reach from the ground

I hear the silence, a haunting sound

Chorus:

Ashes of the forgotten, smoke in the air

The past devours, beware, beware

Souls long lost, their cries remain

I am trapped in their endless pain

Verse 2:

Symbols burned into the bark

A sacrifice echoes through the dark

The fire hums with a cursed breath

I feel the pull of life and death

Bridge:

No light breaks, no hope survives

The altar hungers, it consumes lives

I see the forest in its final form

A living grave, a storm of scorn

Chorus (repeat):

Ashes of the forgotten, smoke in the air

The past devours, beware, beware

Souls long lost, their cries remain

I am trapped in their endless pain

Outro:

I kneel before what cannot die

The forest whispers, I cannot lie

The ashes settle, the night grows deep

Ashes of the forgotten, I cannot sleep
