[Verse 1] You came to me with gentle hands A balm before the war began No shield, no spear—just soft command And all my fury turned to sand [Chorus] Ash and laurel, blood and flame I whisper still your secret name When gods forget and heroes fall Your voice, your touch—outlives them all [Verse 2] They say I burned the world for fame But I would trade it for your name No Hector slain, no Troy undone If I could keep just one more sun [Bridge] They crowned me death, they crowned me rage But you, you held the war at bay My body breaks, my story ends Yet where you walk, I rise again [Chorus – repeat] Ash and laurel, blood and flame I whisper still your sacred name Let glory rot, let marble pale— It’s love, not war, that leaves a trail [Outro] So lay me down beside your bones Where silence sings and olive grows No coin, no curse, no gods above— Just you and I, and what we loved Στάχτη και δάφνη, αίμα, φωτιά (Stákhti kai dáfni, aíma, fotiá) Αχιλλεύς μου, φλόγα παλιά (Achilleús mou, flóga paliá) Ό,τι πεθαίνει, μένει σιωπή (Óti pethaínei, ménei siopí) Μα η αγάπη σου, δεν θα χαθεί (Ma i agápi sou, den tha chatheí)
