[Intro — Ethereal Female Vocals]
Sleep now… my little flame…
The world was never kind…
Sleep now…
⸻
[Verse 1 — Female Vocals]
I folded your clothes beside the bed
Still hear your footsteps in my head
Your picture shakes inside my hands
Dust and smoke across the land
The sky burned red for days and nights
While mothers prayed beneath the lights
And every siren screamed your name
Before the silence finally came
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — Male Vocals, Soft]
Who teaches children how to die?
Who paints destruction in the sky?
The kings speak loud behind their walls
While mothers hold what war destroys
⸻
[Chorus — Male + Female Vocals]
A mother’s soul never leaves her child
Even buried beneath the fire
Even lost beyond the violence
Love still cries through the silence
No anthem can replace your voice
No victory could make this right
The earth keeps turning cold and cruel
While mothers mourn through endless nights
⸻
[Verse 2 — Female Vocals]
Your little shoes still by the door
But you won’t run these halls anymore
I curse the flags, the lies, the greed
The hands that taught the young to bleed
And every bomb that split the air
Still echoes like a broken prayer
Heaven felt so far away
The night they took my child from me
⸻
[Bridge — Ethereal Choir + Spoken Whisper]
(whispered)
“They were only children…”
“Only children…”
[Male Vocals]
The rivers carry ash and names
[Female Vocals]
And every mother bears the blame
[Together — Building]
Not for the war
Not for the hate
But for surviving after fate
⸻
[Final Chorus — Full Emotional Impact]
A mother’s soul never truly dies
It lives inside forgotten cries
Inside the ruins, inside the rain
Inside the ones who speak their names
No crown deserves a single grave
No child was born for war or hate
And every star above us knows
The world broke something beautiful
⸻
[Outro — Soft Piano + Ethereal Vocals]
Sleep now… my little flame…
I will carry your name…
Beyond the smoke… beyond the pain…
Until I see your face again…
