[INTRO: ambient synths and reversed guitar echoes] (Instrumental, soft fade-in like dawn) [VERSE 1: male vocals] The night is breathing its last refrain Echoes drift through the silver rain Footsteps fade where memories lie A thousand stars begin to die [PRE-CHORUS: swelling pads] But the light begins to bloom Painting gold across the gloom [CHORUS: duet harmonies] We are the afterglow, we are the sound Falling through colors, never touching ground Every goodbye becomes something new Under the sky that remembers you [INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE: piano + synth lead] [VERSE 2: female vocals, softer tone] Silent waves on the edge of time Carry dreams across the line In the stillness, hearts unwind Leaving only light behind [CHORUS: layered harmonies, full reverb] We are the afterglow, we are the sound Falling through colors, never touching ground Every goodbye becomes something new Under the sky that remembers you [OUTRO: ambient fade, no drums] (end)
