Fading Embers (Imeut)

(Verse 1) I walk this world, but see the past, In every shadow memories cast. A fading spark, a whispered name, The only proof of whence I came. (Chorus) Fading embers, faint and small, Sparks that rise before they fall. The world I knew is ash and smoke, But still I guard what once awoke. (Verse 2) They say it’s best to let it die, To lay to rest the haunted sky. Yet in my mind, the fire stays, A last reminder of those days. (Chorus) Fading embers, faint and small, Sparks that rise before they fall. The battles fought, the lives we gave, In shadows now, I keep what’s left safe. (Bridge) Would it be peace to let it go, To let the ashes cease to glow? Yet in each spark, they still remain— The comrades lost, the endless pain. (Verse 3) I carry on, alone but bound, To keep the spark from burning down. For if it fades, then so do they— The silent voices swept away. (Final Chorus) Fading embers, faint and small, Sparks that rise before they fall. Their stories flicker in my hands, The last of them in foreign lands. (Outro) Gone are the days, their strength, their pain, In every spark, they still remain. And though this world is not my own, I guard the light of what was known. (Verse 3) I carry on, alone but bound, To keep the spark from burning down. For if it fades, then so do they— The silent voices swept away. (Final Chorus) Fading embers, faint and small, Sparks that rise before they fall. Their stories flicker in my hands, The last of them in foreign lands. (Outro) Gone are the days, their strength, their pain, In every spark, they still remain. And though this world is not my own, I guard the light of what was known.
