E.d. 90’S - Ashes Of The Damned

Carry your name
Carry your name
Yeah, yeah.
Carry your name
Carry your name
I watched them drag her to the pyre in the center of the square
Watched the village call it justice while they burned away her prayer
I was young and
I was frightened
I said nothing, did not fight
Told myself that silence saved me on that cord and ashen night
Now the years have passed like shadows, but the guilt has never died
Every ember of that fire still is burning deep inside
And they say she walks the forest when the moon is turning red
Coming back to claim the dead or by the living and the dead
I remember every face that turns away
I am the fire you couldn't keep at bay
We are the ashes that refuse to die
Rising from the flame beneath the sky
Through the smoke, through the dark, through the flame fear that lit the fire
Fear that rang the bell
I spent my life running
From a truth
I couldn't face
That we killed an innocent woman and called it holy grace now
I hear her footsteps close up with every passing year
Feel her breath up on my shoulder
Feel my judgment drawing near
I deserve whatever's coming for the silence that
I kept for every scream
I turned away from while the village slept
I remember every face that turned away
I am the fire you couldn't keep at bay
There's a death that doesn't vanish with the years
There's a fire that outlives every one of your fears
I was silenced, I was burned
I drowned in your jeers
Now it's time you learn the price of your cheer
Through the smoke, through the dark, through the flame, we are the ones who carry your name
Carry your name
Carry your name
Carry your name
Rising from the ashes
I remember everything bang bang bang bang
