Embers

By brutus [Catchy Instrumental solo] [verse] Beware, beware the embers' glow As they fade in the night so slow Their dying light, a final plea To tales of warmth and memory [verse 2] Once blazing bright, now barely seen A dance of orange, red, and green The fire's child, reduced to ash Its story told in one last flash [verse 3] Oh why, oh embers, do you fade? Have you forgotten how you played? The hope and comfort that you brought The battles 'gainst the cold you fought [verse 4] The hearth grows cold, the shadows creep As embers fall into their sleep What do they seek in their last breath? A chance to cheat impending death [verse 5] But on the edge of dark and light They find no rescue from their plight Alone they face the coming chill Their warmth and power all but nil [verse 6] In final moments, hear them cry: Beware, beware, we soon shall die Remember us, our fading gleam Remember us, your last dream
