lyrics

Youngest child let me shelter you from the cold, give you the best and more
But in this palace you find yourself within, you'll fear our brand of recourse

And I learned the meaning of fear
The flame you wield inflicting scars
Left me weak and susceptible to vice

Now you've grown with a palace of your own, so tell me how does it feel?
Do you strike out when the child begins to shout, another turn of the wheel?

There must be something in our blood
Or is it something you did to my heart
Why the ones we're sworn to protect must fear
I feel the rage building within
The same fire that was left unguarded
And burned me into something resembling you

Colours pale from touch of flame, it burnt them all away
The Ashen fears it shall repeat today

Youngest child I look at what you are, what's left after the flames
A daughter of your own, you try to make a home, I pray you don't do the same

You realize that I know
I've seen what's left and my guilt and pity will never leave me alone
You could have been so great
I'd give anything to change the past but time has run away

Colours pale from touch of flame, it burnt them all away
The Ashen fears it shall repeat today
Quell the fire it can't return to your young betrayed
The ashen pallour she must not attain
