Ashstar Ascends

[Verse 1]
Ashstar stepped in black glass rain
Smiled at death and said her name
Bones on the table, cards in hand
She read the shadow, made it stand
One red rose in her left braid
One cold blade in the moonlit shade

[Pre-Chorus]
He came close with a hollow grin
She felt the fire under skin
Then the veil began to glow
And every crack let thunder grow

[Chorus]
Ashstar dances with death
Ashstar takes her breath
When the dark comes near
She turns it into gold

Ashstar dances with death
Ashstar wins again
Goddess fire in her chest
Ashstar breaks the cold
(Ashstar) (Ashstar)

[Verse 2]
He struck first with a silence spell
She answered back with a wedding bell
Not for mourning, not for fear
For the crown she wore so clear
In her eyes, a storm awake
In her hands, the night would shake
Every wound became a sign
Every scar a silver line

[Pre-Chorus]
He reached out, the room went still
She bent the wind to match her will
Then the sky tore open wide
And she walked out on the other side

[Chorus]
Ashstar dances with death
Ashstar takes her breath
When the dark comes near
She turns it into gold

Ashstar dances with death
Ashstar wins again
Goddess fire in her chest
Ashstar breaks the cold
(Ashstar) (Ashstar)

[Bridge]
Now the dead lean back and stare
At the halo in her hair
She was made for the final fight
Born to burn the endless night

[Final Chorus]
Ashstar dances with death
Ashstar takes her breath
When the dark comes near
She turns it into gold

Ashstar dances with death
Ashstar wins again
Goddess fire in her chest
Ashstar breaks the cold
Ashstar, Ashstar, rise again
Ashstar, Ashstar, win again
