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
