The Meadow

By The Ronin Project · Metal · From the album Inside the Embers

The battle smoke is fading

The hillside stands alone

The crows have stopped their calling

The earth reclaims its own

Those who lit the matches

Never watched the fire turn

Now only grass remembers

Lessons warriors had to learn

When the ashes all fall

And all the voices are gone

I'll see you in the meadow

When the shadows crawl near

And the last hope is drawn

I'll see you in the meadow

When the skies turn pale

And the memories move on

I'll see you in the meadow

When the echoes fade out

And everything feels wrong

I'll see you in the meadow

These conflicts left their story

Etched deep beneath the rain

The leaders lost their purpose

But the soil kept the pain

Time will grow its flowers

From the blood it came to know

The meadow never judges

It only lets things grow

When the ashes all fall

And all the voices are gone

I'll see you in the meadow

When the shadows crawl near

And the last hope is drawn

I'll see you in the meadow

When the skies turn pale

And the memories move on

I'll see you in the meadow

When the echoes fade out

And everything feels wrong

I'll see you in the meadow

The banners long have fallen

Their colors stripped and worn

The trumpets now are silent

No oath stands by the sworn

Life returns in whispers

Where the fallen made their bed

The meadow holds their stories

The living and the dead

When the ashes all fall

And all the voices are gone

I'll see you in the meadow

When the shadows crawl near

And the last hope is drawn

I'll see you in the meadow

When the skies turn pale

And the memories move on

I'll see you in the meadow

When the echoes fade out

And everything feels wrong

I'll see you in the meadow
