Mally Smith - Ashes & Feathers Lyrics

I pull my dress over my head
Put it on the pyre with the rest
I stand in my skin beside it all
I light a match and watch it fall
I watch it fall

The flames climb higher, they crackle and scream
Your words burn away with my lingering dreams
I step my body into the blaze
The heat of the burn
The fury of the flame
The fury of the flame

After I die, then I'll rise
I'll be clean of heart and clear, clear of eyes
I'll spread my wings, I'll spread them wide
And take to the sky

And on that day when finally you return
All you'll find left of me here
Are ashes and feathers
And embers that burn
