Cold Ashes in The End Lyrics

Beneath the veil of crimson skies

A shadow looms where truth belies

A spark ignites a fleeting dream

But all that glitters burns unseen

They chased the light they chased the sun

Fought every war thought they had won

But borrowed power comes with chains

A gilded throne that holds their pain

The world they built it couldn't last

A fleeting echo of the past

The fire's out the embers die

And all that's left—a hollow cry

The Phoenix rose on borrowed wings

But every triumph left a sting

And when the giants flew away

The ashes of the Phoenix stayed

No rebirth no flames to claim

Just cold ashes in the name of fame

The sky grew dim their hearts grew cold

A fractured legacy to hold

What good is flight if it's not free

If flames consume your destiny?

The Black Lotus watched below

Roots entwined where rivers flow

For while the fire's light may blind

The ground will cradle what it finds

The Black Lotus remains our roots deep in the ground

For strength is in our bond not the might that can be found

We rise as one through every storm through every endless night

But the Phoenix fades to nothing lost in their own light

The Phoenix rose on borrowed wings

But every triumph left a sting

And when the giants flew away

The ashes of the Phoenix stayed

No rebirth no flames to claim

Just cold ashes in the name of fame

Now they're gone a story told

A lesson written deep in gold

A Phoenix born to rise again

But all that's left is cold ashes in the end
