Immortal Fire

(Verse 1)

I saw you once in a burning shrine

Ash on your hands, but your eyes divine

You didn’t fear what I had become

You touched the dark like it wasn’t wrong

I stayed in shadows, I watched you breathe

A fragile light I could never keep

And when the flames took you from my side

I learned eternity could still die

(Pre-Chorus)

Time rewinds, but it’s all the same

Different lives, but the same old pain

(Chorus)

I’m the immortal fire in your veins

Burning through every life again

I try to save you, I pull you close

But I’m the reason you turn to ghost

Every lifetime, I lose your light

Every moment, I lose the fight

If love is all that I ever knew

Why does it always destroy you?

(Verse 2)

I built you walls, I called it care

Locked every door just to keep you there

But you ran free through the winter night

And I found your silence beneath the ice

I gave you worlds, I gave you gold

Painted your dreams, but I took control

A perfect cage in a velvet lie

Where even love couldn’t keep you alive

(Pre-Chorus)

Every touch leaves another scar

Every truth shows me what we are

(Chorus)

I’m the immortal fire in your veins

Burning through every life again

I try to save you, I pull you close

But I’m the reason you turn to ghost

Every lifetime, I lose your light

Every moment, I lose the fight

If love is all that I ever knew

Why does it always destroy you?

(Bridge)

So I let go… for the first time

No more chains, no more lies

I step back into the night

And watch you choose your own life

You said:

“I was never yours to save”

And it broke me in every way

(Final Chorus)

Now the immortal fire fades to grace

No more shadows to take your place

I don’t hold you, I set you free

And somehow… you come back to me

No more lifetimes lost in pain

No more love that leaves a stain

If this is what it means to choose

Then I would lose… just to not lose you

(Outro)

For the first time, you don’t die

For the first time… we survive
