Ashes on the Wind

[Verse 1] In the stillness after battle, where the b***d begins to dry, She walks among the silence, with a shadow in her eye. Ravens wheel above her, crying songs the d**d once knew, But her heart won’t bear to listen—for it’s lost too much to rue. [Verse 2] She’s worn the veil of mourning more than she has worn a crown, Built her walls from whispered names and vows she’s written down. Once she danced in moonlight, once she sang without the ache, Now her voice is but a memory the wind forgets to take. [Chorus] Don’t you go where I can’t follow, Don’t fade like ghosts into the sea. I have buried love in sorrow— Let me not lose you from me. Let me not lose you from me. [Verse 3] Each smile she dares to cherish feels like tempting fate to fall, As if joy invites the reaper, cloaked in silence, to her hall. She ties her love in ribbons, black as midnight, soft and brave— But every gift she offers feels like flowers for a grave. [Chorus] Don’t you go where I can’t follow, Don’t fade like dreams that will not be. I have burned through nights so hollow— Let me not lose you from me. Let me not lose you from me. [Bridge] She holds their names like sacred oaths, Carved into her skin and soul. But love that dares to bloom again Must pay the reaper’s toll… [Final Chorus] So don’t you go where I can’t follow, Don’t turn to ash upon the breeze. I have wept through fire and shadow— Let me not lose you from me. Please… let me not lose you from me.
