Name in the Smoke | Ashes of Mercy Pt. II

Same war. Other side of it. The dead don't rage — they watch, they recognize, and they wait. A companion piece to Ashes of Mercy told from the perspective of whoever didn't make it out. Cold, hollow, and a little too welcoming.

💀 The skeleton saved you a place.

__________
The ground took me quiet
Dirt doesn't ask your rank
I heard your order given
I heard the barrel clank
I watched you mouth a prayer
Teeth tight, eyes ahead
I did that too, brother
Right before I was dead

Who told you you'd walk out?
Who sold you whole from this?
We all become what we feared
We all end up like this

Name in the smoke
(name in the smoke)
I saved you a place
Name in the smoke
(name in the smoke)
I recognize your face

I saw your brother laugh
Then watched the laugh go cold
That's how it starts out here
You lose the parts you hold
You'll stop counting faces
The names will blur to shapes
That's not the war changing you
That's just the thing that takes

You're still surprised it hurts
That's almost sweet from here
We all thought we were different
Till the mud made it clear

Name in the smoke
(name in the smoke)
I saved you a place
Name in the smoke
(name in the smoke)
I recognize your face

Come closer, I won't bite
I'm just what's left of what you'll be
You've been fighting so long, soldier
Don't you want to rest like me
The mud is cold but honest
It doesn't ask you to pretend
I'll keep your name down here with me
We all arrive here in the end

Name in the smoke
(name in the smoke)
The mud knows your name
Name in the smoke
(name in the smoke)
We all end the same
