Ashes of a Forbidden Flame

[Intro]
In the ashes of the fallen, where shadows blend and swell
A secret rises with the dawn, a story not to tell
Beneath the scarred sky’s watchful eye, her fate begins to sway
In the ashes, love ignites, in a dangerous way

[Verse 1]
Among the shattered streets she walks, dreams buried in the dust
Whispers of the old world, turning faith to rust
They came with chains and fire, to bind her in their fear
But he watched from shadows, a presence fierce and near

[Pre-Chorus]
A monster or a guardian, who can really tell?
In this world of broken dreams, she's under his spell

[Chorus]
Falling into flames, her heart beats wild and free
He’s the beast of myth and maze, yet she's the only one to see
In this post-apocalyptic night, she finds a love so rare
A dragon’s breath ignites, in the ruins they dare to care

[Bridge]
Burning skies above, their worlds collide, entwined
Sacrifice and salvation, caught between the lines
His blazing wings unfurl, to shield and to defend
A love reborn from ash, real beyond the end

[Outro]
In the twilight’s gentle glow, the town begins to heal
She’s claimed her destiny, a love no one can steal
In the darkness, she’s found a spark to light her way
A dragon’s love in the rubble, forever to stay
