Ashes Under the Moon

Act 1: The Trial and the Escape (Verse 1) City sirens wail beneath the neon light Rick arrives, unknown, cold panther in the night He seeks his shot, a throne to overthrow V sees him coming, knows the tides will flow In the shadows she whispers forbidden truth The Don’s warehouses, all the secrets of youth Steel, powder, money, power in the dark In one breath she gives him the spark Rick and V, two flames in the rain Break down the walls, defy all the chains Heists, carnage, the Don senses doom The city ignites, love leaves its wound (Pre-Chorus) But escape devours them, fear in their veins Her brother blocks their path, last link in the chain V strikes him down to save her lover’s life First blood spilled, first oath with a knife (Chorus) Everything burns, everything falls For love, she betrayed and lost it all Her brother, her blood, the light of the moon V flees through a kingdom of ashes Act 2: The Hunt and Patricide (Verse 2) The Don weeps and thunders, calls for the chase The city drowns in danger’s embrace Rick and V, hunted on rooftops, Love turns to running, hope finally stops Trapped in the night, backs to the wall The Don confronts them, hate standing tall A scream, a gunshot, dust and a tear V kills her father, snuffs out the last fear Nothing remains but chaos and pain Rick seizes the throne, the streets, and the gain V feels the abyss in her lover’s cold glance Love turns to absence, alone in the dance (Pre-Chorus) Her heart grows empty, power devours Rick betrays V, seeking new flowers Another woman, golden promises spun V vows revenge, her mercy undone (Chorus) Everything burns, everything falls For love, she betrayed and lost it all Her father, her dreams, her vows, her moon V collapses on an empire of ruins Act 3: Betrayal, Revenge, the Ashen Throne (Verse 3) The wedding bells ring, champagne in the air Rick kisses his queen, V’s shadow barely there With a smile, she gifts the deadly wine A fatal kiss, illusion’s decline Rick rages, seeking her face in the night Final showdown, two souls in the fight V’s got nothing left but revenge as her crown A gunshot echoes, Rick falls down On the ruins, V walks alone through the haze An empire burnt out, lost in a maze Her heart beats in the void, queen without throne All that she loved, forever gone (Chorus – Final) Everything burns, everything falls For love, she betrayed and lost it all Her brother, her father, her lover, her moon V smiles, cold queen of the ashes (Outro) Beneath the moon, the ghosts start to sing V sits alone, silent as a king Power, revenge, and solitude remain Ashes under the moon – that’s the end ------------------------------------------- Original lyrics by Phyx © Copyright 2025 - @Phyx -------------------------------------------
