[Intro] (rain ambience, soft piano) [Verse 1] Sitting where the banners still remember Names I barely say out loud Steel is cold but not as cold as silence Since the king’s voice left the crowd [Chorus] We were sundered when he stayed to protect us When the demons came, he was ashes in the rain Every oath still echoes through me But it doesn’t sound the same [Verse 2] Lantern light on rain-worn armor Harbor ghosts out in the gray I still hear the horns that called us But they’ve long since faded away [Chorus] We were sundered when he stayed to protect us When the demons came, he was ashes in the rain Every oath still echoes through me But it doesn’t sound the same [Break] (no drums, soft piano, distant thunder) No fire left a mark upon him No blade I saw could strike him down We called it war and named it chaos But something else was moving ‘round In the silence after battle In the space where he remained There was nothing left but ashes Falling softly through the rain [Final Chorus] (full band, choir enters) We were sundered when he stayed to protect us When the demons came, he was ashes in the rain Every oath still echoes through me But it doesn’t sound the same All the voices that once followed Now are ghosts that call his name And the world he died defending Still just drowns him in the rain [Outro] (soft piano returns, rain fades) Sitting where the banners still remember Though the names have all but worn Steel is cold within my hands now But I don’t feel it anymore If the rain could wash the memory Or the weight of what became I would leave this sword beside me And let it rust here in the rain
