Ashes of the World Tree (version 2)

Intro

(deep male chant)

Ho…

It falls…

The great tree falls…

Verse 1

Branches crack in sacred fire,

Burning sky goes ever higher.

Roots that held the ancient earth,

Now return to smoke and birth.

Stars are fading one by one,

Night consumes the dying sun.

Every prayer and every sound,

Turns to ash upon the ground.

Pre-Chorus

Hear it break!

Hear it cry!

Even gods must say goodbye!

Chorus

Ashes of the world tree fall!

We remember after all!

Through the ruin, through the flame—

Nothing ever stays the same!

Hey! Hey!

Burn it down!

Hey! Hey!

Take the crown!

Drop

Ho! Ho!

Ash!

Ho! Ho!

Dust!

Hey! Hey!

Rise!

Verse 2

Ritual winds begin to spin,

Carving out what lies within.

Ancient spirits drift away,

Into night and into grey.

Wolves are silent, sky is torn,

Something ancient is reborn.

From the ending comes the spark,

Lighting up the endless dark.

*[Bridge]** *(female ethereal vocals)

From the ashes we remain…

Born again through fire and pain…

Final Chorus

Ashes of the world tree call!

We rise above it all!

Broken worlds and endless name—

We become the flame!

Outro

It falls…

It burns…

It returns…
