An Ember Morning

An Ember Morning is a song composed by the Irish people who escaped the Molly Riots of 2046. It was a song sung at the end of the riots to mourn the dead.

Description
Although Irish music is forbidden in Scion, especially Irish rebel music, Paige Mahoney sings it when Ezekiel Sáenz requests she sing it in a buck cab after learning Paige was really Irish. Paige sings the first part of the song before cutting herself off after remembering her grandmother singing it for her cousin, Finn McCarthy, at his memorial service after he died in the Molly Riots. When exiting the cab, the driver hands Paige a note coin back "for the pretty song." Paige leaves it on the seat as she won't "accept money for a memory."

Lyrics
My love, it was an ember morning When October was a-dawning. Fire cried on the honey meadow. Come, ghost of the vale, I am standing in the ashes, where you roam. Erin waits to bring you home.

My heart, I saw a flame upon the sky When October's bitter morn was nigh. Smoke choked the honey meadow. Hark, spirit of the south, I am waiting near the cloven tree, Now Ireland's heart is broken by the sea.
