Blood, Ice And Ashes

The night she went looking
There was blood, ice and ashes
The shivering ember
The cut of the dark
She had flint in her fingers
Ice sparking with ire
And splinters of other cold nights
In her heart

Just a little white rose
A glint in the snow
Ice in the bones
And she said:

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 of the cold
Of his breath on the wind
Through barb wire and bracken
And broken illusions
She could still taste the salt
In the cracks of her skin

Just a little black rose
Just a thorn in the snow
Ash in her veins
And she said:

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
You won't see me coming
I'll be there, I'll be there

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

A little red rose
A stain on the snow
Blood on her hands
And she said:

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

She let it all out...
