[Intro – crackling fire, soft acoustic guitar]
The sky is falling down in gold
The stories that we never told
[Verse 1 – low strings, steady rhythm]
Ashes dancing in the cold night air
Smoke is tangled in your messy hair
We’re standing where the world began to burn
Waiting for the tide of fate to turn
Your eyes are reflecting the dying light
Holding on through the middle of the fight
[Chorus – powerful drums, soaring vocals]
If this is all that’s left of us tonight
I’ll be the shadow in your fading light
Through the fire and the pouring rain
I will carry every ounce of pain
When the world is gone and nothing stays
I’ll find you in the embers and the haze
[Verse 2 – building intensity, electric guitar]
Dirt and blood are painted on your skin
Counting every battle that we didn’t win
The ground is shaking underneath our feet
But I won’t let this moment be defeat
Just look at me and don’t you turn away
We’ve got a thousand things we need to say
[Chorus – full band, maximum energy]
If this is all that’s left of us tonight
I’ll be the shadow in your fading light
Through the fire and the pouring rain
I will carry every ounce of pain
When the world is gone and nothing stays
I’ll find you in the embers and the haze
[Bridge – stripped back, piano and cello]
The silence is the loudest thing I hear
Washing out the echoes of our fear
If we lose it all before the dawn
Our love is the only thing that’s moving on
[Solo – emotional electric guitar solo]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Climax – heavy distortion, epic scale]
We are the spark that won't go out
The only truth within the doubt
Let the heavens fall and oceans rise
I see the future in your tired eyes
[Final Chorus – high energy, layered harmonies]
If this is all that’s left of us tonight
I’ll be the shadow in your fading light
Through the fire and the pouring rain
I will carry every ounce of pain
When the world is gone and nothing stays
I’ll find you in the embers and the haze
[Outro – fading acoustic guitar, wind]
Just you and me against the grey
Until the fire fades away
