Verse 1

(🎤 Low male voice — hollow, exhausted, dreamlike)
(🎧 Soft ambient choir, cracked-glass textures, distant heartbeat bass)
The lantern glows with a dying gleam,
Fading embers falling through my dream.
Your echo slips through deserted halls,
Still I reach though nothing answers my calls.

Pre-Chorus

(🌫 Rising strings + cold chimes + trembling synth)
You were a riddle carved in smoke,
A silent truth that never spoke.
I tried to hold the shape of you,
But shadows melt like they always do.

Chorus

(🔥 Huge cinematic lift — choir bloom, aching synth lead, big drums)
Ash lantern, guide me through the dark,
Burn the scars you left in my heart.
Every lie now falling like snow,
Every glow becoming hollow.

Ash lantern, fading in the cold,
Stories we carried now unfold.
If this spell was fated to break,
I’ll let the dawn decide what stays.

Verse 2

(🎧 Warped harp plucks + slow R&B beat + cold echoing pads)
(🎤 More emotional male vocals, stronger but fragile)
I trace the steps where we used to be,
The ghost of us still circling me.
The masquerade dissolves in air,
Leaving only truth I never dared.

Pre-Chorus 2

(🎛 Tension swell — glowing strings, magical distortion, heartbeat pulse)
You were a riddle carved in smoke,
A silent truth that never spoke.
Now I see through the mirrored flame,
What burns bright never stays the same.

Chorus 2

(🔥🔥 Full emotional break — higher male vocal layers + massive synth bloom)
Ash lantern, guide me through the dark,
Burn the scars you left in my heart.
Every lie now falling like snow,
Every glow becoming hollow.

Ash lantern, fading in the cold,
Stories we carried now unfold.
If this spell was fated to break,
I’ll let the dawn decide what stays.

Bridge

(🎻 Cinematic strings + whispering ambience + breathy vocals)
I walk alone through the fractured light,
Your shadow thinning with the night.
For every truth I learned too late,
A piece of me escapes your fate.

Final Chorus

(🔥🔥🔥 End-cinematic explosion — drums, choir, soaring synth, emotional male belt)
Ash lantern, guide me through the dark,
Burn the scars you left in my heart.
Every lie now falling like snow,
Every glow becoming hollow.

Ash lantern, fading in the cold,
Stories we carried now unfold.
If the mask must crumble to dust,
I’ll rise from what’s left of us.

Outro

(🎧 Quiet, magical, dissolving)
(🎤 Bare whisper)
Light…
out.
