lyrics

Left to freeze and die
The only one who would provide
She stood upon the earth and aimed an arrow

Count your shots
Like they’re your life
You’ve only got
One chance to strike
Or watch as blood pours out upon the white snow

Ash trees
They stand and stare at me
As I pull back
They mock and laugh
I forget to breathe

Ash trees
Nocked between my bow and string
I release and life retreats
In one gentle swing
Ash trees

A fiesty creature
Thin and frail
Her will to live
Her Gaunt frames sail
As wind propelled her forth across the ice

A false wave of relief
skin and bones she skinned a beast
Her hunger melted
Like the blood stained snow
That trailed behind

As ash trees
They stand and stare at me
They line deaths row
And watch me go
As snow turns into spring

Ash trees
Won’t be the last you see of me
Across the wall
Another life
Awaits me patiently
Ash trees

Blood, sweat, fear, talons
Blood, sweat, fear, talons

Ash trees
Become the death of me
Swept away
A worthy trade
For mere mortality

Ash trees
Of my fears they’ll be the least
For what’s to come
I killed the beast
I’ll find what’s due of me
Ash Trees
