Ashes of the Saint Remain

I heard the call beyond the veil A silver voice, the holy tale With sword in hand, I bore the light To drive the darkness from the night But fire waits for those who stand Against the greed of mortal man They crown me blessed, they call me damned A pawn within their holy hand I am the spark, I am the flame Burn me down, erase my name Yet in the embers, I remain Ashes of the saint Voices called me, led me here Now silence answers, filled with fear My banner falls, my body breaks Yet still my soul, it will not shake Tell me, Lord, was I deceived Or just a flame they longed to leave A guiding light, a martyr's fate Or was I just another blade I am the spark, I am the flame Burn me down, erase my name Yet in the embers, I remain Ashes of the saint
