Blood, Ice and Ashes

THE NIGHT SHE WENT LOOKING
THERE WAS BLOOD, ICE AND ASHES
SHIVERING EMBER THAT CUT UP THE DARK
SHE HAD FLINT IN HER FINGERS
EYES SPARKING WITH IRE
AND SPLINTERS OF OTHER COLD NIGHTS IN HER HEART

JUST LITTLE WHITE ROSE
GLINT IN THE SNOW
ICE IN THE BONE AND SHES AID

I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU
IN THE SHARDS OF THE MIRROR
I'LL BE THERE, I'LL BE THERE
I'LL FOLLOW, I'LL FIND YOU
AND YOU WON'T SEE ME COMING
I'LL BE THERE, I'LL BE THERE

WELL SHE SOUGHT HIM IN SHADOWS
AND IN WHISPERS AND DITCHES
SHE COULD STILL TASTE THE BOLT OF HIS BREATH ON THE WIND

THROUGH BARBED WIRE AND BRACKEN
AND BROKEN ILLUSIONS
SHE COULD STILL TASTE THE SALT IN THE CRACKS OF HER SKIN

JUST LITTLE BLACK ROSE
THORN IN THE SNOW
ASH IN HER VEINS AND SHE SAID

I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU...

WHEN SHE FINALLY FOUND HIM
ASLEEP IN THE GARDEN
SHE FLICKERED JUST ONCE AND THEN BANISHED ALL DOUBT

SHE CLUTCHED ALL OF HER PROMISE AND HOPE IN HER POCKET
STRUCK STEEL UPON STONE
AND JUST LET IT ALL OUT

LITTLE RED ROSE
STAIN ON THE SNOW
BLOOD ON HER HANDS AND SHE SAID

I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU...

SHE LET IT ALL OUT
