[Verse 1] I was born in two rites One hand prayer, one hand flame Mother wept on my mouth Father marked me by name I can taste both worlds Iron on my tongue One wants the moon to kneel One wants the sun undone [Pre-Chorus] There’s a crack in my ribs Where the old blood sings It pulls me down, pulls me up By the chain of wings I bite my own shadow Till it answers back Human skin, demon grin On the same black track [Chorus] Ash in my blood Ash in my blood I’m split in the dark And I’m split in the love Ash in my blood Ash in my blood One side begs to live One side begs to judge (to judge) [Verse 2] In the mirror I see Two kings in one face One with a human pulse One with a ruined grace My hands shake for a mercy That my throat can’t say Then the beast inside me Starts to pray [Pre-Chorus] There’s a crack in my ribs Where the old blood sings It pulls me down, pulls me up By the chain of wings I bite my own shadow Till it answers back Human skin, demon grin On the same black track [Chorus] Ash in my blood Ash in my blood I’m split in the dark And I’m split in the love Ash in my blood Ash in my blood One side begs to live One side begs to judge (to judge) [Bridge] If I cut one out Do I still remain? If I save the child in me Do I feed the pain? I want my father’s fire I want my mother’s hands But when the night gets hungry I don’t know who stands [Final Chorus] Ash in my blood Ash in my blood I’m split in the dark And I’m split in the love Ash in my blood Ash in my blood One side begs to live One side begs to judge Ash in my blood Ash in my blood I scream my own name Till the night gives up Ash in my blood Ash in my blood I am both the wound And the blade above (above)
