Lyrics

[Verse 1] Beneath a sky of ash and stone, We walk the wastes alone, The gods have fled, their thrones grown cold, Their silence cuts the bone. [Verse 2] The dead do not rest here, They rise with hollow cries, Their eyes are lost to shadow's grip, Their hearts to Umbra's lies. [Chorus] But still the fire burns— A spark the dark can’t drown. We stand in fear, we bleed in hope, We won’t lay our torches down. The world may fall to ruin, The stars may leave the sky, But we are the fire— The fire that will not die. [Verse 3] We build where none remain, By pyres whose light we share, With smoke-stained hands and fractured hearts, We breathe defiant prayer. [Verse 4] Each oath we make is fragile, Each bond a thread through time, But even threads can bind a world, When woven 'gainst the grime. [Chorus] And still the fire burns— A hope we hold inside. When fear would claw our voices shut, We roar with battle-cries. The light may flicker low, The end may linger nigh, But we are the fire— The fire that will not die. [Bridge] Let the Umbra come with teeth and flame, Let it whisper every name. We’ll meet it with our back to back, No soul alone in shame. [Final Chorus – slower, rising intensity] Yes, still the fire burns— Though night devours the sky. We are the last and fiercest ones, Who live and do not hide. Our stories echo onward, Where ash and ember lie... We are the fire— The fire that will not die.
