(Intro – slow, eerie clean guitar with heavy reverb, distant thunder drums building quietly) Midnight hum in a dying town Smoke hangs low where the sun went down Footsteps echo on broken stone I walk this road alone Cold wind whisper my hidden name Ashes fall like a cursed rain Every shadow looks alive Like something survived (Verse 1 – slow, heavy riff enters, deep steady drums) There was a house at the edge of the field Where the truth was buried and never revealed Windows black, no light inside Just secrets we tried to hide We were young and we played with sparks Laughin’ loud in the summer dark Didn’t know what we’d ignite Didn’t know that night (Pre-Chorus – tension rising, low distorted build) Flames don’t fade when the guilt runs deep Some fires burn in your sleep (Chorus – slow, massive, haunting guitars, gritty drawn-out vocals) Burning higher… crawling through my mind Taste of fire… running down my spine No escape from what I left behind It consumes me over time Feel it tighten… wrapped around my fate Everlasting… sealed behind the hate (Guitar Solo 1 – slow, melodic, haunting lead) (Sustained bends, crying notes, echoing atmosphere) (Verse 2 – heavier but still slow, thick bass underneath) Sirens screamed but the sky stayed black No turning time, no taking it back Flames climbed high, painted the night In a sick red light I still see it behind my eyes Hear the truth in the mother’s cries Feel the heat on my skin again Like it never ends (Pre-Chorus – more intense, drums pounding deeper) You can run but it tracks your scent Every spark leaves a permanent dent (Chorus – bigger, layered vocals, crushing slow chords) Crimson fever… eating me alive Silent reaper… where the shadows thrive Every memory twists the knife Still it lingers deep inside No forgiveness… echoing my name Only embers… feeding off the shame (Bridge – stripped back, eerie clean guitar, storytelling vocal) Years gone by but the smoke still stays In my lungs, in my waking days Every match, every flicker of light Takes me back to that night (Breakdown – slow crushing chugs, almost doom-like) Ash to ash, dust to bone What you burn, you always own (Guitar Solo 2 – emotional, soaring, dramatic build) (Slow build to faster runs, wailing bends, explosive final sustain) (Final Chorus – full heavy impact, haunting harmonies) Rising torment… I can’t deny Blazing judgment… behind my eyes No more running from what survives It’s a brand I cannot hide Endless fire… carved in my veins Dark desire… calling my name (Outro – fading distorted lead, ambient crackling soundscape) Embers glow where the truth was laid Some debts never get repaid When the silence cuts like a knife Hellfire… still alive.
