MythicRealm - Ashes of the Few

Lyrics:
In the silence after fire, where the earth still smokes with grief,
The voices of the fallen whisper truths beyond belief.
Their lives were coins in games of power, spent without a care,
While kings debate behind their walls, the fields are stripped bare.
Do you see the shadows rise?
Do you hear their echoing cries?
The cost of pride, the price of hate-
A cycle we can’t escape.
Ashes of the few, scattered in the wind,
The dreams of countless souls, lost for someone’s sin.
Fighting wars they never chose, paying debts they didn’t owe,
In the ashes of the few, the truth will always show.
Across the borders drawn in blood, beneath the flags they wave,
The broken march, their hearts in chains, to early, silent graves.
The leaders speak of victory, a prize for which they fight,
But it’s the masses left to die, while they argue who is right.
Can you see the faces fade?
Can you feel the lives betrayed?
The power plays, the games of men,
Repeat the story once again.
Ashes of the few, scattered in the wind,
The dreams of countless souls, lost for someone’s sin.
Fighting wars they never chose, paying debts they didn’t owe,
In the ashes of the few, the truth will always show.
And when the smoke clears, what remains?
Empty fields and endless pain.
For every hero laid to rest,
A thousand lives were dispossessed.
No banners wave, no victors sing,
Just silence where the death toll rings.
Ashes of the few, scattered through the night,
The innocent they fall, while the guilty claim the right.
Fighting wars they never chose, paying debts they didn’t owe,
In the ashes of the few, the seeds of truth will grow.
Beneath the stars, a question lies,
How many more will pay the price?
When the voices of the few hold sway,
The world must bleed another day.
