Lyric

Slipping through the gaps of night

A silent shadow seeps in tight

Someone’s voice dissolves into the wind

Close my eyes, and it fades again

Ashen whispers call my name

Softly playing a fading game

What disappears, what lingers on?

Which is truth when all is gone?

Warmth left in my trembling hand

Touch it once, it slips like sand

Dream or illusion, blurred in sight

Whose memory fades into the night?

Ashen whispers echo deep

In the heart where shadows sleep

Life’s faint light, life’s fleeting shade

Both sway fragile, destined to fade

Pain that words cannot contain

Rings aloud within the silent rain

This abandoned heart remains

It can only cry in quiet strains

Ashen whispers sink inside

Through the soul where secrets hide

What will vanish, what will stay?

Which is real at the end of day?

When nightfall drapes the sky above

Even shadows vanish from my love

Left behind, a single streak of ash

Faint and fragile, a heart’s soft crash
