This little tune is based off of the famous children's rhyme, "Ring Around the Rosie," and my take on the popular idea that it originated out of one of the worst plagues in human history: the Black Death.

The vast majority of historians and folklorists believe it to be rooted more in the Victorian era, as a form of child's play about courtship rituals, but I find the former concept more entertaining.

Lyrics:

Ring around the rosies
A pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down

We hold hands in a circle tight
Laughing in the dying light
Sweet red flowers at our throat
Cover up the smoke we choke

Bells are ringing down the lane
Every song sounds like a prayer in vain

Round and round
We spin so slow
Petals fall like falling snow
Ash in the air
Death in the room
Sing it soft
The end comes soon

They told us sickness had a name
Tucked it into a child’s game
Perfume masks the rotting day
Dancing while we fade away

Count the bodies, count the days
History hums in a nursery phrase

Round and round
We spin so slow
Petals fall like falling snow
Ash in the air
Death in the room
Sing it soft
The end comes soon

Innocence with blood on its hands
Truth buried under marching bands
What survived was not the rhyme
But the fear that outlived its time

Round and round
The circle breaks
Everyone gives
No one takes
Ash to ash
We all must fall
Hushed goodnight
We lose them all

Ashes, ashes
We all fall down

Video/visualizer by Vizzy.io. Image generated in ChatGPT and edited by @Arystina. ~ Lyrics: I kept vigil by the door Counted cracks across the floor Every shadow knew my name Every silence fed the flame Every hour pressed its teeth Through the boards beneath my feet I smiled soft and held it in While the dark came crawling in I was quiet I was near Turning panic into air When the rafters groaned and the night pressed thin I burned low just to breathe again Am I fading Fading Fading slow Where the daylight never goes? Hold on That’s all I pray Let me make it through today Fading Fading Still I glow Barely gold but holding on Hold on Don’t look down I’ll be the spark that won’t go out I woke cold in morning blue Still pretending I pulled through Never let my fingers shake Feeding fire to the ache I swallowed smoke and called it grace Kept the ruin off my face Every spark I tried to save Flickered less by break of day I was quiet I was near Making lullabies from fear When the floorboards cried and the cold pushed in I burned low just to breathe again Am I fading Fading Fading slow Where the daylight never goes? Hold on That’s all I pray Let me make it through today Fading Fading Still I glow Barely gold but holding on Hold on Don’t look down I’ll be the spark that won’t go out One day the wick may bend One day the glass may blacken I’ll find the smoke I hid In every quiet fraction But until the last flame shakes Until my breath turns blue I will keep this candle lit Long enough to make it through Am I fading Fading Almost gone Still I burn against the dawn Hold on Remember me As the fire underneath Fading Fading Soft and thin Let the morning pull me in Hold on Don’t ask how I’m still the spark that won’t go out Hold on Flame under pressure Hold on I won’t let go$
