Crimson Ashes

Tracers flash before my eyes
Of lightnings' past and fireflies
Memories collide and blur together
Of times that have gone by; lost forever

Our dreams and aspirations ebb and flow
Floating lost and free like flakes of snow
Fears and misery at times were conquered
The ones left free our conciousness doctored

Once my life was youthful, pleasant and free
Dancing in the forest, lost in the trees
Now I'm racing through these frozen caverns
Faces stare back; blurred from the taverns

Mirrors shatter what once was to be
The spirit and courage must come from me
While I am climbing through these ice jambed passes
Crimson embers glow in the bluest of ashes
