lyrics

The misted air hangs as a stone
Footsteps fall on ash and bone
A chill so thick, no ice can dwell
A cold this dark, it does not melt

Flayed heart to mend
A promise sworn
I burn these bones to keep me warm

Breaking limbs of bark and flesh
For this cold, there is no rest
Without the fire built from regret
Feed the flames with dreams I've wed

An ashen heart
Of love forlorn
I burn these bones to keep me warm

(Vocal interlude)

The smoke, it speaks of lessons told
Heart reminds of days when bold
Fire of past to wash me clean
Strip me of this soul unseen

This skeleton
I swear I'll mourn
I burn these bones to keep me warm
