Preserved in Ash

Awakened by claps of celestial hands
 The mountain, once guardian
 Now soars in the wind
 Explosion, a call from our Father's sphere
 Unending, surrounding
 Reprisal for sins that we prayed would disappear
 Cloud bereft of rain
 Oblivious to the many signs
 A pervasive haze
 Always above, as we slept through our lives
 The promise of the end of days
 By the fire sky we make our way
 Through burning wind
 Bracing ourselves for the impending sight
 Of our frozen kin
 Head to the sea!
 On this volatile path
 Follow the sun!
 Through the cracks in the ash
 Carry the weak!
 Demonstration of grace
 Salvage our souls!
 From the tendrils of fate
 Head to the sea!
 On this volatile path
 Follow the sun!
 Through the cracks in the ash
 Carry the weak!
 Demonstration of grace
 Salvage our souls!
 From the tendrils of fate
 All for naught
 The heavens aflame
 Thy will is done
 By hubris we fall under sheets of violent rain
 Preserved in ash, we lay immortal
 Circular passage of time
 Augury bestowed upon the blind
 Monument to avarice, memorial in stone
 Witness to the callowness, alone
