Ashen Dreams

An evil man stands before me,
with eyes dark as midnight sky
A life of pain and sorrow,
soul so lost, it made me cry

But there's a glimmer of hope,
deep within his ashen dreams
A chance at his redemption,
or so to me it seems

His world cruel and heartless,
So his heart it did turn cold
But deep down I can see,
his weary soul longs to unfold

In this fleeting moment,
all his pain fades away
he embraces the light,
and let his darkness slip sway

So let us dance like fireflies,
in this ephemeral delight
And find our way back home,
in the heart of the night

For redemption is a journey,
filled with twists and turns
But with love by our side,
our spirits forever yearn

Ashen Dreams, we break the chains,
and rise up to the sky
With each step we take,
we become heroes with wings to fly.
