Ash Parade(eng_v3_metal)
[Intro – contrabass riff, distant ticking, reversed brass echoes, ambient hum] Tick... tock... The city exhales. Neon flickers like a dying tale. Truth bleeds slow in the light of the screen — No one’s clean, no one's seen. --- [Verse 1 – emo rap with dark jazz groove] Burnt-out signs on the boulevard sigh, Billboards smile while the homeless cry. Truth in fragments, sold in reels, Empathy’s priced by how it feels. She scrolls at midnight, no food, no heat, Learning from a world that can’t admit defeat. His tears got likes but no one called, Trauma is currency, empathy’s stalled. --- [Chorus – thrash metal meets brass, choked vocals + layered screams] We are the march of the broken and bruised, Wounds on display but never excused. Are we heard, or just consumed? Are we healing, or just exhumed? Scream if your silence has weight, If your dreams were reshaped by fate. This ain't revival — this is rust, We rise from ruin, we break through dust. --- [Verse 2 – dixieland ghost brass over down-tuned metal chugs] A trumpet cries where the sirens moan, The brass sounds drunk, the streets alone. Grief’s got rhythm, but joy forgot, Dancin’ to memories we almost bought. Kids play near wires and empty carts, Mothers sell pills to buy spare parts. Faith in fragments, stitched with lies, Preachers sell hope with bloodshot eyes. --- [Bridge – whispered emo flow with glitch sounds, subtle synths] Don’t give me your claps, don’t feed me your trends, I need a world that tries to mend. Where grief’s not framed with clever tags, Where kids aren’t born into plastic bags. --- [Final Chorus – crescendo post-rock guitars + metal + full brass] This is the hymn of the barely alive, Breathing ash, we still strive. Raise your voice if you've ever been used, Sing for the fallen, the truth-abused. March with your scars, don’t hide the cost, The future is ours — but only if lost. This is the march of the broken and wise, We see the cracks beneath the skies. --- [Outro – contrabass solo, trumpet weeps, ambient fade, clock ticking] Tick... tick... We’re still here... But for how long?
