In my hands, I hold the ashes
In my veins, black pitch drums
Dark clouds gather 'round me
Due northwest, the soul is bound
And I ask for no redemption
In this cold and barron place

In my chest, if I can catch this
In my way, the setting sun
And I will go on ahead, free
There's a light yet to be found
Still I see the faint reflection
And so by it, I got my way
