Shadow Of Ashes

Verse 1 In halls draped in silence, she lingers alone, Where whispers of lovers are carved into stone. The embers have faded, the fire is cold, She waits in the shadows for hands she can't hold. Chorus Dance with the ashes, sing to the night, Hold to the voices lost to the light. Gone are the faces she knew in her dreams, But still in the darkness, they're closer, it seems. Verse 2 Through echoes of laughter and tears long past, She dances for memories too fragile to last. For all of the lives and the vows left undone, She sways with the specters till rise of the sun. Chorus Dance with the ashes, sing to the night, Hold to the voices lost to the light. Gone are the faces she knew in her dreams, But still in the darkness, they're closer, it seems. Bridge In shadows she whispers the names she once knew, And for one fleeting moment, they feel almost true. A prince in her memory, a promise once made, Bound to the night by the debts that they paid. Outro High in the silence where no others tread, She waits for the ones who are gone but not dead. For they’ll find her someday, when her story is done, And together they’ll dance till the morning has come.
