(Verse 1 – düster, orchestral anschwellend)
In the silence of the midnight,
your shadow lingers on my skin.
A fragile echo in the darkened sky,
the place where we have never been.
You walked into my world unbidden,
a burning star, a fleeting flame—
and now the void you left behind me
still trembles when I breathe your name.
(Pre-Chorus – stark, ansteigend)
I tried to cage the longing,
but it cuts through night and bone.
How can a heart survive the aching
of loving someone all alone?
(Chorus – episch, kraftvoll)
When my heart fades away,
I will still carry your trace.
Every whisper, every memory
carved like runes beneath my veins.
Through the storm of the unsaid
I keep reaching into space—
When my heart fades away,
you remain my silent flame.
(Verse 2 – intensiver, mehr Druck)
The night we crossed the line in shadows
still lives inside my broken breath.
Your warmth became my quiet refuge,
a light that fate stole in its theft.
And though your soul feels far and distant,
your presence haunts the air I touch—
a bittersweet, forbidden longing
that punishes and heals too much.
(Pre-Chorus – stärker, metallischer Unterton)
The truth we never dared to speak
still claws its way through every thought.
How can a moment so unspoken
be the greatest war I ever fought?
(Chorus – groß, hymnisch)
When my heart fades away,
I will still carry your trace.
Every whisper, every memory
carved like runes beneath my veins.
Through the storm of the unsaid
I keep reaching into space—
When my heart fades away,
you remain my silent flame.
(Bridge – episch, orchestral, emotionaler Höhepunkt)
If time could bend its shattered spine,
I’d hold you in the light again.
But fate devoured what we could be,
left me wandering through the pain.
Still I guard the dream of us—
a truth you never had to see.
For though you never truly held me,
I’m bound to what you’ll never be.
(Final Chorus – größer, dramatischer, voller Gefühl)
When my heart fades away,
let the heavens hear my plea:
I loved you in the shadows
where no one else will ever see.
Through the ashes of the silence
I rise, though I still bleed—
When my heart fades away,
you’re the ghost I’ll always keep
