NERATHIS EP: AFTER THE ASHFALL - TRACK 4 — WE CARRY THE FIRE WRONG

[Clean Intro – Low Strings, Minimal Guitar] We didn’t lose the fire We misunderstood it [Verse 1] They told us fire would cleanse us Make the world begin again But fire remembers nothing Except how to end We held it like a blessing Like a sacred flame Never asking What it takes [Pre-Chorus] The fault was never fire The fault was us [Chorus] We carry the fire wrong Like it belongs to us We mistake destruction For becoming just Every lesson written In smoke and pain We carry the fire wrong And call it change [Verse 2] The world still breathes in embers The sky still tastes of soot We swear it was necessary But necessity doesn’t heal the wound [Pre-Chorus 2] Survival is not absolution [Chorus] We carry the fire wrong Like it chose our side We burn the past And ask the future to comply [Bridge – Slow Build] Fire is a tool Not a truth [Final Chorus – Full Band] We carry the fire wrong And call it fate But nothing grows Where we incinerate If this is how we inherit What remains Then let the world remember We carry the fire wrong [Outro – Long Fade] Wrong
