I think of ashes when I walk
When the clouds part
As people seem to gaze down at their children

A timeless hope for something new, raw
But as age comes, hairs bristle
We become a fleeting moment
In an otherwise evolving world

Between the night
The fall of our ancestors
We rise to be something better,
But through the ashes
Sometimes comes misdirection
Follies of the frail heart

Ashes can build great resolve
When one is vulnerable
They can take you to places
That no else has been to

They can bleed the heart of agony
The pain that seethes itself through your pores
Until one day it was all worth it

The fight,
Ashes beneath our steely resolve
