(Verse 1) Ash on my hands, I don’t wash it away Cold in my chest where the old voices stay Mountains whisper every step that I take A boy at my side, and a path I can’t break (Pre-Chorus) Don’t ask me who I was before That man don’t breathe anymore (Chorus) Through the frost and the fire I roam Carrying sins I can’t atone Every step, every breath I owe To a past buried under snow He looks at me like I’m enough But he don’t know what I’ve become Still I carry what I can’t outrun Ash and snow, father and son (Verse 2) Gods don’t fade, they just change their name Blood on the ice still burns the same Rage like a storm that I hold inside One wrong spark and it won’t subside (Pre-Chorus) I teach him strength, I hide the truth A broken man raising youth (Chorus) Through the frost and the fire I roam Carrying sins I can’t atone Every step, every breath I owe To a past buried under snow He looks at me like I’m enough But he don’t know what I’ve become Still I carry what I can’t outrun Ash and snow, father and son (Bridge) If he sees what lives in me Will he turn or will he bleed? Am I guiding, or the chain Pulling him into the same? (Final Chorus) Through the frost and the fire I roam Trying to build what I never owned Every word I never said Echoes louder in my head If I fall, will he stand tall? Or become what I can’t stall? Still I carry what I’ve done Ash and snow… father and son
