Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Ash on the air Stones in the square Harps on the willow branches Silent there (oh…) [Verse 1] Gates burned down to glowing sand Crown of dust in shaken hands Children crying in the streets “Where is bread? Where is peace?” Priests in rags The elders fall Echoes slam against the wall Every promise sounds like rust Every prayer tastes like dust [Chorus] This is my lamentation Tears like fire on the page Every line Desolation Every word a swallowed blade Yet in the ruins I remember Mercies waking with the day In the darkest devastation Hope is hidden in the flame [Verse 2] Roads that used to sing with trade Haunted now by shades and graves Friends once feasting at my side Turn their backs Avert their eyes All the songs we used to sing Crack and splinter in my wings I was golden I was known Now I sit A broken throne [Chorus] This is my lamentation Tears like fire on the page Every line Desolation Every word a swallowed blade Yet in the ruins I remember Mercies waking with the day In the darkest devastation Hope is hidden in the flame [Bridge] I will sit in the dust and wait Let the yoke press down my neck Let my mouth taste shattered clay Till Your voice cuts through the wreck You have torn me like an arrow You have trampled every gate But You will not cast forever You will heal what You have scraped (yeah) [Chorus] This is my lamentation Tears like fire on the page Every line Desolation Every word a swallowed blade Yet in the ruins I remember Mercies waking with the day In the heart of desecration Love is new Though walls are gray [Outro] Ash on my hair Song in the air I will sing among the ruins You are there (oh, You’re there)
