(Verse 1) I walked through fire, and I burned alone Echoes of silence carved into stone I held the light until it dimmed Now shadows wear my broken skin (Pre-Chorus) They sang my name like it still meant something But the glory fades when the blood stops running (Chorus) These are the ashes of me Falling slow in the coldest breeze I gave my all, now there’s nothing left Just a whisper held in a warrior’s breath Can you still see who I tried to be? Or am I just dust in the memory? (Verse 2) I fought for hope, I fought for peace But victory never belonged to me The crown I wore was made of pain And all that’s left won’t speak my name (Bridge) And if I fade, don’t mourn the fall I was never meant to rise at all But if you hear the thunder call— You’ll know I stood… before I crawled (Final Chorus) These are the ashes of me Scattered wide for none to keep I gave my soul to a world on fire Now I burn alone in a choir of liars Can you still hear what I used to be? Or am I just lost in the legacy?
