Lyrics:

Beneath the hazel tree she weeps,
Where roots entwine her mother’s sleep.
The grave breathes whispers through the loam,
“Child of dust — your heart’s my home.”

Her hands are gray, her eyes are flame,
She wears her sorrow like a name.
The sisters laugh; their tongues are knives,
They steal her light to gild their lives.

She danced upon her mother’s grave,
In silken ash, her soul enslaved.
The crows sing hymns of charred delight,
The Ashen Maiden burns tonight.

The feast begins, the torches bloom,
Their laughter echoes in her tomb.
She moves; a wraith in embered lace,
A ghostly grace, a dying face.

She danced upon her mother’s grave,
In silken ash, her soul enslaved.
The crows sing hymns of charred delight,
The Ashen Maiden burns tonight.

The glass was red; not clear, not kind,
It fit her foot, but scarred her mind.
The crows descend with hollow cries,
To feast upon her sisters’ eyes.

She danced where mercy turned to stone,
A crown of soot, a heart of bone.
No prince could free her from her blight,
The Ashen Maiden fades tonight.
