Текст песни
City breath, the banners rise
Dust of vows beneath the skies
White Woman in silver glow
Moonlit eyes, a crown of snow
Popocatépetl, steel and scar
War-heart burning like a star
Footsteps pound, the night is torn
All the gods lean in, sworn
Crowds are pressing, voices high
Smoke and incense scrape the sky
Two hearts stand before the flame
All the heavens speak their name
Ash and snow
Faith will glow
Smoke remembers
Hearts below
Ash and snow
Winds will bear
Burning watch
And silent prayer
Ash and snow
Night and flame
Guard the vow
Keep the name
Ash and snow
Voices rise
Mountains keep
Your silent cries
Rumor rides on poisoned tongue
Envy's arrow, sweet and young
Soft as breath in candle smoke
One thin word, a world is broke
"Warrior's fallen, nevermore"
Echo cracks the temple floor
She believes that dying breath
Folds her heart into a death
Bracelets still, her colors fade
Shadows flood the colonnade
Songs turn bitter, low and slow
Turning summer into snow
Streets fall silent, markets stare
Grief hangs heavy in the air
Somewhere deep where embers glow
Vows go dark and lose their flow
Ash and snow
Faith will glow
Smoke remembers
Hearts below
Ash and snow
Winds will bear
Burning watch
And silent prayer
Ash and snow
Night and flame
Guard the vow
Keep the name
Ash and snow
Voices rise
Mountains keep
Your silent cries
He returns with dust and sun
Victories carved, the war is won
Calls her name through gate and hall
Shaking light along the wall
Every answer falls in tears
One more cut across the years
Lifts her form, so cold, so light
Carries day into the night
On his shoulders climbs the land
Mountain shaping in his hand
Builds a tomb against the sky
Where no love is left to die
Steps grow slow to single beat
Stone and sorrow in his feet
Sets her where the stars can see
Swears a burning loyalty
Ash and snow
Faith will glow
Smoke remembers
Hearts below
Ash and snow
Winds will bear
Burning watch
And silent prayer
Ash and snow
Night and flame
Guard the vow
Keep the name
Ash and snow
Voices rise
Mountains keep
Your silent cries
Pale hands close her resting eyes
White veil drawn across the skies
They lay her in a crystal bed
Crown of clouds around her head
Him they bind to endless flame
Fierce volcano of her name
Every tremor, every breath
Tells the price of faithful death
Voices rise and circle high
Carving fire in the sky
Choirs burning through the dark
Every note a scar, a spark
Daybreak cuts the night in two
Gold and crimson pouring through
On that line of stone and light
Love keeps watch and love lies quiet
Some will blame a rival's face
Some will speak of tender grace
All will see the torch that stays
Smoke that climbs through endless days
Sleeping woman, silver line
Snow forever writes her spine
Between peaks the valleys bloom
Life runs bright around their tomb
Ash and snow
Faith will glow
Smoke remembers
Hearts below
Ash and snow
Winds will bear
Burning watch
And silent prayer
Ash and snow
Night and flame
Guard the vow
Keep the name
Ash and snow
Voices rise
Mountains keep
Your silent cries
