[Verse 1] Neon lights on hollow faces, Empty hearts in crowded places. Digital smiles, synthetic grace, No soul remains, no human trace. We trade our truth for shallow praise, Lost in screens and endless haze. Voices fade in silent rooms, While steel and glass become our tombs. [Pre-Chorus] We built these walls, To keep us safe... Now watch them rise, Above the grave... [Chorus] Ashes of the modern age! Hearts in cages, bound by rage! We are the ghosts of what we made, Drowning in the masquerade! Ashes of the modern age! Truth erased on every page! We sold our souls to numb the pain, And crowned the silence with our chains! [Verse 2] Mercy dies in profit's name, Every life reduced to gain. Brothers turned to faceless crowds, Screaming truths they disavow. Golden idols, plastic kings, Pull the wires, control the strings. Love decays in cold design, Human touch replaced by signs. [Pre-Chorus] We built these gods, From fear and greed... Now they consume, What hearts still bleed... [Chorus] Ashes of the modern age! Hearts in cages, bound by rage! We are the ghosts of what we made, Drowning in the masquerade! Ashes of the modern age! Truth erased on every page! We sold our souls to numb the pain, And crowned the silence with our chains! [Bridge] No more voices... Only noise... No more freedom... Only choice... No more fire... Only sparks... No more daylight... Only dark... [Final Chorus] Ashes of the modern age! Burn the lies, ignite the cage! If there is hope beneath the flame, We rise and tear apart the chains! Ashes of the modern age! Write the truth on every page! From the ruins we reclaim the light, And turn the dark against the night! [Outro] From the ashes... We remain...
