VERSE I

Been alive so long the centuries repeat,

Empires rise and crumble underneath my feet.

Watched kings turn to dust, watched cities turn to flame,

Every war I’ve seen still whispers out my name.

I walked through Pompeii when the sky turned black,

Heard the mountains scream and never once looked back.

Every face I loved—lost to time’s cruel hand,

I’m a relic moving through a world I barely understand.

PRE-CHORUS

I don’t dream no more—only echoes in my chest,

Carry ghosts like armor where my heart should rest.

I stay unbroken, but I ain’t the same—

Immortal body, soul half-missing from the frame.

CHORUS

I’ve been living through the ruins, watching centuries decay,

Never aging, but I’m fading in a slow and silent way.

I keep searching for the doorway where the lost souls slip through,

’Cause I’m tired of forever… all I want is you.

VERSE II

Saw the black plague crawl through every narrow street,

Held a lover while the sickness stole their final heat.

Marched in every war, spilled blood I can’t forget,

Made promises to soldiers who ain’t finished dying yet.

Watched revolutions burn with a fire I couldn’t kill,

Held my breath through winters that froze kingdoms still.

Every life I touched—gone before the dawn,

And grief becomes a shadow I’ve worn for far too long.

PRE-CHORUS 2

I don’t break, but I fracture where no one can see,

I move through every era like a haunted melody.

If heaven has a ledger, then it’s got my sins in red—

’Cause I keep all their stories where the angels fear to tread.

CHORUS 2

I’ve been living through the ruins, watching centuries decay,

Never aging, but I’m begging for an ending anyway.

All these lifetimes in my memory, every truth and lie I knew—

What’s eternity worth… if it ain’t with you?

BRIDGE

Maybe death forgot me, maybe fate looked away,

Maybe I was meant to wander, never meant to stay.

But every soul I cherished, every love I made—

Lingers like a candle in a house that never fades.

FINAL CHORUS (CATHEDRAL-STYLE)

I’ve been living through the ruins, praying night will let me go,

But forever keeps me captive in the stories carved below.

If the afterlife is waiting with the ones I always knew—

Then I’ll walk into the darkness… just to follow you.
