Ashes of Yesterday Lyrics

The fire was bright in days gone by

We danced in the glow under a midnight sky

But time, like a thief, stole the flames away

Leaving nothing but ashes of yesterday

Ashes of dreams that we couldn't hold

Ashes of stories left untold

We sift through the ruins, trying to find

Fragments of love we left behind

In the silence now, the embers fade

We trace the paths where memories laid

But the heat is gone, only shadows remain

Ghosts of a fire we can't reclaim

And though the fire's out, the smoke still lingers

We reach through the past with trembling fingers

But the warmth we knew has turned to gray

And all that's left are the ashes of yesterday

Ashes of youth, and of reckless nights

Ashes of battles and fleeting fights

We buried our hopes in the fading light

Now we stand in the cold of endless night

The wind takes the ashes, scatters them wide

Carried far by the changing tide

We watch as they drift, slip through our grasp

Whispers of a flame that couldn't last

But in those ashes, seeds may grow

From the remnants of what we used to know

Perhaps one day, a spark will rise

To kindle the fire in different skies

For now, we walk on this quiet road

Carrying the weight of the love we sowed

With every step, the past decays

But we'll never forget the ashes of yesterday
