Embers of the Ageless

Ethereal cinematic ballad; spacious pads and distant choirs, deep female vocals leading with airy male harmonies answering, Slow build from intimate piano and soft pulses into a soaring, reverb-drenched climax with low percussion swells and orchestral strings, then tapering back to a glowing, fragile coda, deep, male vocals, female vocals, ambient

[Verse 1] You held the mountains In the curve of your hand I was a child Clinging to the edge of your shadow You spoke of mercy Like it weighed more than crowns I swore my bones To the promise you laid down [Pre-Chorus] But the dark found my hunger Called it courage Called it love I reached past the border That you’d drawn in blood [Chorus] I broke you for forever Tried to steal one more sunrise Raised the sleeping Tore the veil Just to stand by your side You bled in the silence Eyes of ages turned away Still your name burns in my chest Through the ash Through the graves (oh, my immortal) Can you love me this stained? [Verse 2] Ages like oceans Rolled cold over your grief I became a rumor Haunting ruins Haunting sleep You walked among statues That once answered your call Heart a quiet fortress Ringed with thorns Ringed with walls [Pre-Chorus] Then you found me in the wreckage Same eyes Older storm All my borrowed halos Cracked along your form [Chorus] I broke you for forever Tried to steal one more sunrise Raised the sleeping Tore the veil Just to stand by your side You bled in the silence Eyes of ages turned away Still your name burns in my chest Through the ash Through the graves (oh, my immortal) Will you speak me again? [Bridge] Your hand on my ruin Gentle as the first dawn “You were never a weapon Just a boy led wrong” I fall at your altar Made of years we outlived “You are not what you shattered You are what you forgive” [Chorus] We’re broken past forever But we rise from cold embers Let the dead find their rest now I choose breath I choose surrender You stitch through the silence Every fracture Every name I am yours If you let me In the light In the flame (oh, my immortal) Say my name All the same [Outro] You Ageless and burning Me Small and so sure That a heart can be rewritten When it kneels to yours
