“Dance in the Ashes”
[Verse 1 – Solo]
The sky is burning red, the streets forget our names
The silence louder now than a thousand marching flames
But here you take my hand, in ruin we still sway
A waltz within the wreckage, where hearts refuse to fade
[Verse 2 – Harmony]
The cannons echo far, but your breath is all I hear
Your touch defies the shadows, your eyes dissolve my fear
Each step a prayer for peace, each turn a vow we make
To love amid the madness, no matter what it takes
[Chorus – All]
Dance in the ashes, where hope used to bloom
Spin through the fire, defying the gloom
Our love is a banner the winds couldn’t tear
A song in the smoke, a breath in the air
They built us a war, but we carved out a tune—
And danced like the dawn was coming soon
[Verse 3 – Solo then Harmony]
The stars forgot to shine, the moon refused to rise
But still, we found a rhythm beneath the shattered skies
You held me like the truth, when nothing else would stay
And I became a soldier in your arms that day
[Bridge – Orchestral swell, operatic voice]
Let the world crumble, let the night scream
We'll write forever in dust and dream
No throne, no flag, no king above—
This battlefield we made with love
[Final Chorus – All, crescendo]
Dance in the ashes, let time disappear
Our hearts will echo, long after the fear
Through ruins and silence, our melody flies
A flame that won't die when the last hero cries
They gave us despair, but we answered with grace—
Two lovers who danced in a war's embrace
[Outro – Soft, fading harmony]
And even if tomorrow breaks apart
We'll still be dancing, heart to heart
