Ashlands

I belong nowhere and to no one but this

Come to me, my cold escape, my everlasting

A work towards a past so near

Where ties are torn and time is the enemy

I've torn off the heads of clinging ailments

I've forced away all signs of illness

I build the ruins of your tomorrow

Icon of stone in the face of agony

Sorrow's source follows a scent of misery

Angst cloud's cut sweeps down and plows my path

At last the tides have come

Release the mighty floods

Let them all wash over me

See beyond my sins through their eyes

Let them be drawn and undone

Heckled, ridiculed, detested, abused

Cursed, isolated, tormented, possessed

Before's embodied and now is dead

At my side it always stands

The key companion for one vicinity

Truth's vision is always too clear

Chained, sentenced, punished, banished

Released, consumed, enlightened, crowned

Without heart, without soul, we walk

Road of ash is paved for me forever

For forever is mine and mine to travel
