Ashes of What I Gave by OGknox7 - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro - Soft Piano, Single Voice, Whispered]

It starts with none...

[Verse 1 - Tight Rhythmic Flow, Clean Vocals, Building Guitars]

One spark, I don't know when

It doesn't even matter where it all began

Hold that inside, I built this cage

To unravel in due time all this rage

Trust is a fragile thing

Watch it shatter when the hollow echoes ring

Watch it crumble at the edge of the night

The walls caved in without a fight, so unclear

I didn't see the floor break

Watched the faith pour out like a silent earthquake

Holding on, but nothing stayed

I burned it all just to watch it fade

[Pre-Chorus - Restrained Vocals, Swelling Strings, Drums Building]

I held the silence in my chest

And even though I bled, the wound wouldn't rest

What I carried will eventually be

Just the ashes of a time when I believed

[Chorus - Full Band Explosion, Soaring Clean Vocals, Crashing Cymbals]

I gave my all and lost the war

But in the ashes, nothing matters anymore

I had to break to feel the fall

But in the ashes, nothing matters at all

[Verse 2 - Raw Vocal Edge, Distorted Guitar Riff, Aggressive Drums]

One crack, I don't know how

It doesn't even matter what you promised now

Keep that in mind, I wore these scars

To remind myself how I reached for stars

In spite of every door you shut on me

Acting like my soul was your property

Remember every time you screamed at the sky

I'm amazed we made it this far, God, why?

Things will never be the way they were

You wouldn't even recognize what I endure

Not that You heard me calling then

But the silence always finds me in the end

[Pre-Chorus - Desperate Clean Vocals, Guitar Feedback, Tension Building]

You held Your answer from my hands

And even though I prayed, You never had a plan

What I worshipped will eventually be

Just the ashes of a time when I believed

[Chorus - Massive Wall of Sound, Screamed and Clean Vocals Layered]

I gave my all and lost the war

But in the ashes, nothing matters anymore

I had to break to feel the fall

But in the ashes, nothing matters at all

[Bridge - Isolated Screaming Vocals, Stripped Drums, Raw Emotion, Building to Peak]

I put my faith in the unknown

Screamed as far as my voice would go

For all of this, there's one thing left to show

I put my faith in the unknown

Bled as far as these wounds would go

For all of this, there's one thing left to know

[Final Chorus - Everything Hits, Emotional Peak, Clean Vocals Breaking Into Screams]

I gave my all and lost the war

But in the ashes, nothing matters anymore

I had to break to feel the fall

But in the ashes... nothing matters at all

[Outro - Piano Alone, Voice Cracking, Fading to Silence]

Nothing matters... at all...
