Within the forgiving arms

Of the endless night

You’re picking up the pieces

Of your shattered life

The fires are still smoldering

They left you with these scars

Burn the bridge of returning

Then realize who you are

Shadow and bone – left all alone

Shadow and bone – nothing to atone

Shadow and bone – you’re on your own

Shadow and bone

Clutching fleshless bones

Desperate for something to hold

Wrapped in the shadows outside

You’re freezing but not from the cold

Outside rages vicious storms

Tearing life apart

Stand to face another sorrow

Ripping out your heart

Ashes have been scattered

Wind-borne memories

Your feathers torn and tattered

Yet you stand defiantly
