Ritual of Ember and Oak (النسخة 2)

Verse 1

Iron frost on stone walls rise

Amber candles burning in the eyes

War drums beat a slow refrain

Feet remember what they ain’t got back

Lost to fire, lost to flame

Burning in my chest again

Bare your teeth, bare your skin

We don’t count how long we been

Only who we are, right here, now

The ember never dies

Pre-Chorus

So let the thunder crack

Let it shake what’s left of the pack

Rise and take the blade

I still remember what I made

Hold it to your heart and draw

Your own fire from within the law

Beg for the darkness, beg for light

Take both, hold them tonight

Chorus

This is our ritual of ember and oak

We are forged where the fires break

Iron frost, amber glow

Take it all and never let it go

Bare your teeth, bare your skin

Rise and take the blade within

So let the thunder crack

Let it shake what’s left of the pack

This is our ritual of ember and oak

We don’t count how long we been

Only who we are, right here, now

Take it all, take it in this hour

Verse 2

Smoke curls around my shoulders back

Steel on skin, steel on blade

Fading light where the embers stack

Every breath I take feels made

Not to last, not to fade

Only for this one moment’s shade

So I don’t think and I don’t breathe

Just let the fire find what it needs

Pre-Chorus

So let the thunder crack

Let it shake what’s left of the pack

Rise and take the blade

I still remember what I made

Hold it to your heart and draw

Your own fire from within the law

Beg for the darkness, beg for light

Take both, hold them tonight

Chorus

This is our ritual of ember and oak

We are forged where the fires break

Iron frost, amber glow

Take it all and never let it go

Bare your teeth, bare your skin

Rise and take the blade within

So let the thunder crack

Let it shake what’s left of the pack

This is our ritual of ember and oak

We don’t count how long we been

Only who we are, right here, now

Take it all, take it in this hour

Bridge

No tomorrow

No yesterday

Just fire

Just steel

Hold it all inside you till it breaks

Then walk out into the dark

Not empty

Not weak

But a furnace waiting to wake

When the embers find their place

They ignite what they had been meant

So I don’t look for morning light

I burn instead where shadows lie

Take it in, hold it tight

Let it fuel us till we take flight

Chorus

This is our ritual of ember and oak

We are forged where the fires break

Iron frost, amber glow

Take it all and never let it go

Bare your teeth, bare your skin

Rise and take the blade within

So let the thunder crack

Let it shake what’s left of the pack

This is our ritual of ember and oak

We don’t count how long we been

Only who we are, right here, now

Take it all, take it in this hour

Outro

Rise and take the blade within

Never let the fire spin
