Light in the Ruins

Verse 1 (clean, gritty tone)

We’ve bled in silence, we’ve drowned in noise,

Fought through the wreckage, but we had no choice.

The night can haunt us, but we don’t fold,

Our love is iron, unbreakable, bold.

Pre-Chorus (clean with edge)

I don’t need rescue, and neither do you,

But together we tear the shadows in two.

Chorus

• Clean (main melody):

Nathan, you’re my light in the ruins,

Every scar is proof we’re still moving.

We burn, we bleed, but we don’t fall,

You’re my forever through it all.

• Screamed (backing/echoes):

(“Light in the ruins!” / “Proof we’re still moving!”)

Verse 2 (clean with intensity)

The world can whisper, the world can bite,

But we build fire from the coldest nights.

No fragile glass, no porcelain hearts,

We’re forged in struggle, we’re living art.

Pre-Chorus (clean)

I don’t need rescue, and neither do you,

But your fire’s the fuel when I break through.

Chorus (same structure as above)

• Clean (main melody):

Nathan, you’re my light in the ruins,

Every scar is proof we’re still moving.

We burn, we bleed, but we don’t fall,

You’re my forever through it all.

• Screamed (backing/echoes):

(“Light in the ruins!” / “We don’t fall!”)

Bridge (screamed, raw & heavy — breakdown section)

ALL SCREAMED:

Break the chains, let the dark collapse,

Turn the pain into thunderclaps.

We are the storm, we are the flame,

No one can bury us in shame.

Final Chorus (layered — clean lead with screamed backing)

• Clean (main melody):

Nathan, you’re my light in the ruins,

Every scar is proof we’re still moving.

We burn, we bleed, but we don’t fall,

You’re my forever through it all.

• Screamed (underneath, echoing):

(“LIGHT IN THE RUINS!” / “WE DON’T FALL!”)

Outro (soft clean, almost whispered, guitars fading out)

Through the ruins…

Through the fire…

It’s always you.
