Leave me
Cold mud in my mouth
Iron in my teeth

Skies been open wide, but it did not split for me
I saw wings in the firelight
Gold against the smoke

They carried all the fall
And left me with a bro
Ain't calling the night
One by one they rose

I waited in the silence, but no one spoke my own
No hand on my shoulder
No voice in my ear

Only the sound of my blood
Still beating here
She passed me by
Did not take my name

No hold, no harm
No glory flame
I lay in the ash
Then I stood in the cold
If I am not chosen

I choose my own
Ravens on the wind
Watching where I crawl
They feast on the fallen, but I did not fall

My breath came back like thunder
Through a broken chest
Pain carved out the weakness left behind the rest
I buried all my brothers with hands that would not shake
Swore upon their silence

I would not break
No God came to claim me
No light split the sky
So I rose from the dirt and I did not ask why

She passed me by
Did not take my name
No hold, no harm
No glory flame
Flame, flame

I walked from the fire
Flame, flame, flame
With nothing of more
Flame, flame, flame
If I am not chosen

I walk alone
Let them feast in golden halls
Let them sing of war
I have stood where silence calls
I have become something more

No wings above me
No hand to guide
I am the storm
That did not die

She passed me by
But I did not fall
No God, no throne
No all at all

I rose from the ash
Still in my soul
If I am not chosen
I become the one who calls
No
