Library Fire

[Intro] Clean guitar with distant cello, soft crackling vinyl, rain against stained-glass windows. [Verse 1] Someone struck a match Inside the archives And all the dead philosophers Came running back alive Darwin dropped his spectacles Nietzsche laughed out loud While forgotten astronomers Disappeared inside the clouds Dust became a galaxy Paper turned to stars Every thought we’d worshipped Collapsed beneath the sparks ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Nothing sacred lasts forever Nothing perfect stays Even truth gets buried Beneath its own remains ⸻ [Chorus] Library fire Burn away the lies Set the old equations free Release them to the sky Library fire Take what time forgot Maybe beauty lives inside The things we couldn’t stop ⸻ [Verse 2] You stood among the ashes With candlelight in your hair Reading ruined poetry Like salvation still lived there I watched your shadow dancing Across forgotten names And wondered if eternity Was simply changing shapes ⸻ [Bridge] Heavy distorted guitars. The shelves collapse The ceiling falls But memory keeps The smallest walls ⸻ [Extended Guitar Solo] Emotional feedback, cello counterpoint. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Library fire Turn the silence gold Maybe all that matters Can’t be bought or sold ⸻ [Outro] Crackling vinyl fades.
