[Intro]
Hush now, little one...
The fire is gone...
The pain is gone...
Can you hear them calling from the smoke?
[Verse 1]
Blood-red moon above Thornveil
Midwife hands and coffin nails
Pulled new life from mist and mud
Till they named me cursed blood
Bound to wood
Bound to flame
They burned my flesh
Not my name
[Chorus]
The pyre remembers
The pyre remembers
Every sinner lost in embers
Name by name
Flame by flame
Every scar and every name
Run if you can
Hide if you dare
The smoke already knows you're there
The pyre remembers
The pyre remembers
And the fire still burns somewhere
[Verse 2]
Iron beak and burlap skin
Smoke and embers burn within
Tiny hands inside the haze
Calling through the cinder rain
Priests still hide
Nobles pray
Both will meet
The flames someday
[Chorus]
The pyre remembers
The pyre remembers
Every sinner lost in embers
Name by name
Flame by flame
Every scar and every name
Run if you can
Hide if you dare
The smoke already knows you're there
The pyre remembers
The pyre remembers
And the fire still burns somewhere
[Bridge]
I wanted life
They gave me flame
I wanted truth
They gave me blame
Now every ember knows their names
Now every spark recalls their shame
The fire remembers every face
The smoke remembers every cry
[Verse 3]
Moonlit woods and haunted fog
Every trail remembers wrong
Every secret leaves a ghost
Every liar fears the smoke
Children cry
Smoke replies
Ash remembers
Every lie
[Final Chorus]
The pyre remembers
The pyre remembers
Every sinner lost in embers
Name by name
Flame by flame
Every scar and every name
Run if you can
Hide if you dare
The smoke already knows you're there
The pyre remembers
The pyre remembers
And the fire still burns somewhere
[Outro]
Hush now, little one...
The fire is gone...
The village sleeps...
But I remain...
And the pyre remembers...
Mr_Mundy
