Crushed Embers

A woman with a voice full of tears
Absent from her place among us
All the joy had gone from her
All this aching must find an end

An ox pulls away her ghost, I'll be your echo again
And in that very moment, I was your echo again

And those that wept for you
Forget their weeping soon
As the blood drops slowly
From the fingers of God
Dark fears travel with me
And it's deeper than fear

I waited such a long time and questioned my sanity
You hunted at the wrong time and fell in pain to your knees

A woman with a voice full of tears
Absent from her place among us
All the joy had gone from her
All this aching must find an end

I waited such a long time and questioned my sanity
You hunted at the wrong time and fell in pain to your knees
I faded from my bloodline and took leave of humanity
