Ash in Her Wake

(Verse 1 – Slow, steady beat, low strings and synth building)

Memory shattered,
Past left in smoke.
Questions I carry,
But none ever spoke.

Truth buried deeper
Than bones in the flame.
I carry the silence —
But I still know my name.

(Pre-Chorus – Quickening pace, drums rising)

Shadows behind me,
Fire ahead —
They called me a weapon,
Then fled what they bled.

(Chorus – Full drop, screaming guitar and percussion)

I walk the line — between mercy and blade,
A crimson vow the ash never betrayed.
You wanted gods — so I tore off my skin,
What you call fury... is discipline.

(Verse 2 – Harder drums, striding rhythm)

Tried to bind me —
Steel over scales.
But I kept breathing
Through all their tales.

One step closer,
The mask peels thin.
You pray I’m human...
I never have been.

(Pre-Chorus 2 – Faster pacing, tension spikes)

Claws in the dark,
Teeth in the light —
You see a girl...
But I came here to fight.

(Chorus 2 – Heavier than before, harmonics added)

⚔️ I cut through fate with a flame in my chest,
A name long lost, a will unconfessed.
They begged for legends, then ran from the truth,
Now I stand tall —
Ashfang is proof.

(Bridge – Spoken/sung, almost chant-like, atmospheric)

This form is mine,
This wrath is earned.
You drew first blood...
Now feel how I burn.

(Final Chorus – Epic climax, full instrumentation)

I don’t need wings to bring you low,
I don’t need roars for you to know —
That when I move,
The air stands still.
That when I speak,
Even dragons kneel.

(Outro – Cut to silence, then a single whisper over wind)

“This was mercy.”
