Verse 1:
Mun vuodet haihtuu, kuin savu ilmaan,
mä piirrän hiekkaan oman nimen vain.
Ei mikään jää, ei mikään kanna,
kun tuuli pyyhkii kaiken pois ajastaan.
Jos virta katkeaa yön rajalla,
voinko mä silti löytää valoa?
Verse 2:
No sleep, no rest till I’m done with the fire,
I’ve been chasing ghosts through electric wire.
Sometimes I fall, sometimes I’m hollow,
but still I burn for a brighter tomorrow.
They said I’d break before I’d bend,
but I’m still waiting for the end.
Pre-Chorus:
From ashes to sky, from silence to scream,
two shadows merge inside the dream.
Chorus:
I’ve been watching, I’ve been waiting,
through the mirrors of my mind.
Voinko mä rakentaa tuhkasta taivaan,
jos varjot jää mun viereen näin?
Ashes and shadows, collide tonight,
between the stars we fade to light.
Bridge:
Heikolla jäällä sieluni tanssii,
in your voice I hear what time forgot.
Feel me, touch me, älä päästä,
vien sut varjoihin, jos uskallat.
Final Chorus:
I’ve been searching, I’ve been living,
for a dawn that never dies.
Voinko mä rakentaa tuhkasta taivaan,
jos kaikki katoaa, mutta silti jään?
Outro:
Ashes and shadows…
In the stream we lie…
Between your soul and mine. 🌒
