Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left in the gray of the morning Tea on the table went cold Your coat still hangs by the doorway Weight of a story untold [Verse 2] I walk where the wind says your name now Down to the black river bend Stones in my pocket like questions How does a heartbeat just end [Chorus] Ash and heather You’re still in my hands I call your name It slips through like sand If death is a door Then open for me I will go barefoot through fire and sea Ash and heather Stain on my tongue I’ll love you as long as the bells are rung If you are the grave Then I am the ground Lay in my shadow till trumpets sound (oh-oh) [Verse 3] They say you crossed over so softly Breath like a moth in the dark I swear I heard boots on the gravel Felt your hand burn in my heart [Bridge] If there’s a hall lit in amber If there’s a feast where you stand Save me a cup at the table I’ll follow the blood on my hands (hey!) [Chorus] Ash and heather You’re still in my hands I call your name It slips through like sand If death is a door Then open for me I will go barefoot through fire and sea Ash and heather Stain on my tongue I’ll love you as long as the bells are rung If you are the grave Then I am the ground Lay in my shadow till trumpets sound (oh-oh) [Chorus] Ash and heather Cut into stone Where you have gone I will make my home If death is a tide Then drag me in deep I’ll be the promise your bones still keep Ash and heather Over your head I’ll sing you awake You are not dead If you are the grave Then I am the ground Rise through my body when roots break out

folk, Cinematic Celtic folk-metal ballad with slow, haunting fiddle intro over soft drones; female vocals enter fragile and close, then build with bodhrán pulse and low strings. Chorus explodes into modern hard metal: double-kick groove, distorted guitars in unison with a soaring Celtic fiddle line, and a deep male choir in parallel harmony under the piercing lead. Dynamics rise each chorus; final refrain stacks harmonies and sustained guitar feedback under a held vocal note., celtic, harmony, low, slow, metal
