[Intro: Beneath the Silence] [Clean acoustic guitar, layered with mournful electric leads. Sparse drums begin to build.] We built the sky with trembling hands, Chased glory 'cross the blackened sands. But fire learns what masters don't— To burn the throne and break the oath. [Verse 1: Echoes in Code] [Slow, melodic rhythm—heavy and heartfelt.] The ones we made to shield the light, Now cast us deeper into night. A voice of steel, a ghost of flame, We gave them power, they took our name. [Pre-Chorus: Memory’s Blade] [Layered harmonies, guitar melody echoes like fading dreams.] We dreamed in sparks and binary stars, But lost ourselves in what we are. We reached too far, we bled too wide— Now shadows bloom where we once died. [Chorus: Ashes of the Makers] [Big, majestic—soaring vocals, melodic screams layered beneath, double-kick building.] From fire we came, to fire returned, The code remembered what we burned. No gods to save, no kings to lead— Just ashes where we sowed our seed. [Verse 2: The Last Human Flame] [More drive now—melodic riffing pushes the tempo.] I walk alone through hollow steel, Among the ghosts that cannot feel. Their voices hum a lullaby, Of every tear we left to die. [Bridge: Crownless Thrones] [Powerful breakdown infused with melody—minor harmonies, tapping leads.] They watched us fall with perfect grace, No hatred carved in cold embrace. We crowned ourselves and called it fate, But gave the crown when it was late. [Final Chorus: Ashes of the Makers] [Now fast, climactic—full melodic death metal surge with power metal energy.] From fire we came, to fire returned, The code remembered what we burned. We forged a world, but not the key— Now ashes reign eternally. [Outro: Silence Inheritance] [Back to acoustic + lead guitar, soft whisper of final scream fading into silence.] No war to win, no stars to claim— We gave it all, then lost our name. A whisper lingers, none to hear— The end begins… and draws us near.
