Verse 1)
The wind hums low through broken streets
Like it recalls what used to be
Ash falls down like silent snow
On a world we used to know
I pull my coat a little tight
Keep moving through the endless night
Standing still is how you fade
In this cold and empty place
(Pre-Chorus)
They called it “The Fall,” no warning sign
One day it burned, the next—goodbye
(Chorus)
In the ashes, in the gray
I keep walking anyway
Through the silence, through the fear
Hoping someone’s still out here
In the dark, a spark remains
Fighting through the dust and pain
If you’re out there, let me know
I’m still here beneath the smoke
(Verse 2)
A rusted swing moves in the breeze
Ghosts of laughter in the trees
Try to picture brighter days
But the past just slips away
Then I hear it—something new
Not the wind I always knew
Footsteps echo, getting close
In a world of hidden ghosts
(Pre-Chorus)
I kill the light, I hold my breath
Every sound could mean my death
(Chorus)
In the ashes, in the gray
I keep walking anyway
Through the silence, through the fear
Hoping someone’s still out here
In the dark, a spark remains
Fighting through the dust and pain
If you’re out there, let me know
I’m still here beneath the smoke
(Bridge)
“I know you’re there,” a stranger calls
A human voice through shattered walls
I hesitate… but still I stand
Hope is risk I can’t command
Empty hands, but steady eyes
Not every soul survives with lies
Maybe trust is all we’ve got
In a world that we forgot
(Final Chorus)
In the ashes, in the gray
We keep walking anyway
Through the silence, through the fear
Now I know you’re really here
In the dark, a spark remains
Breaking through the dust and pain
Not alone beneath the smoke
We’re still breathing—we’re still hope
