Ashes in the Snow

---
[Verse 1]
You stood where the sky touched stone
Eyes turned where the river roamed
A storm in silk, a wound in flame
Yet never once did you speak your name
You walked like winter in a war
Silent steps I waited for
With every breath I never showed
I buried love beneath the snow
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I was the bloom you never held
You were the fire I couldn’t quell
Between the sword and aching sky
We lived, we broke, we passed on by
---
[Chorus]
Ashes in the snow, that’s where I remain
Calling out to you through smoke and rain
Your shadow drifts where the cold wind sings
But I still wear your memory like a ring
Ashes in the snow, never touched the flame
But I still whisper your untold name
If this is all the fate allows—
Then let me burn, but not bow down
---
[Verse 2]
You spoke with silence wrapped in steel
Each scar a secret you concealed
I was the breath behind your blade
The peace you feared, the vow you made
They carved your name in war and stone
But I remember you alone
A hand that trembled once in mine
Before it turned to strike the sky
---
[Pre-Chorus]
No lullaby for men like you
No mercy song for what we knew
But I will hum it just the same
A quiet girl who loved your name
---
[Chorus]
Ashes in the snow, that’s where I remain
Calling out to you through smoke and rain
Your shadow drifts where the cold wind sings
But I still wear your memory like a ring
Ashes in the snow, never touched the flame
But I still whisper your untold name
Even if you never turned your head—
You were the living, I the dead
---
[Bridge – Whispered Line]
Would you have stayed... if I had asked?...
---
[Final Chorus – Emotional Climax]
Ashes in the snow, I am still the same
The girl who waited through war and shame
I’ll never be the sword you held
But I was every tear you never fell
Ashes in the snow—let the seasons turn
But even ghosts have hearts that burn
If I must vanish, let it be so—
But I will love you… in the snow
