Ashes in Your Veins

[Verse 1] You wear a crown of broken time Your heartbeat chained in dirt and rhyme The fire spoke, but you stayed still Now silence bends you to its will [Pre-Chorus] You bled like dusk across the sky But stars don’t mourn, and gods don’t cry [Chorus] Ashes in your veins, burning through the bone You carry kingdoms that you've overthrown Your soul is smoke, your breath is flame You lost yourself — and claimed the name Ashes in your veins, no blood remains But still you rise… from your remains [Verse 2] Your hands once held the dawn like thread Now every light you touch turns dead The wind obeys, the cold relents Your curse became your last defense [Pre-Chorus] They carved your name in stone and fear But now that name is all they hear [Chorus – repeat, bigger] Ashes in your veins, fire without end A ghost, a god, a fallen friend You blaze beneath a shattered sky Too fierce to crawl, too dark to die [Bridge – slow, rising] You are the spark beneath regret The oath they swore, and then forget You walk through ruin, crowned in flame And wear the dark like it’s your name [Final Chorus – with choir backing] Ashes in your veins, glory born of pain You stand alone in endless rain No prayer, no plea, no holy chains Just ashes… ashes in your veins
