The Heart of Ash

The Heart of Ash
In the city’s heart, we stood and fell
A place where love and fear collide
We whispered lies we couldn’t tell
And hid the truths we had to hide
But every flame burns into ash
And every word becomes a scar

The nights grew long, the days too harsh
We wandered streets with bleeding hearts
Our hands were warm, but love was cold
The kind of love that tears apart
We thought we’d find a way to heal
But in the end, we lost it all

The heart of ash, it burns away
A love too weak, too far astray
We whispered fire, but found the dark
A city lost, a broken spark

The city sleeps, but we’re awake
Afraid to feel, afraid to trust
We held the fire close inside
But watched it crumble into dust
And now, the streets are filled with pain
Where once we walked as if we’d reign

The heart of ash, it burns away
A love too weak, too far astray
We whispered fire, but found the dark
A city lost, a broken spark
