monuments in motions

The Author Of My Fire

ashes In the sky

shadows we out run

before it all breaks

we will be giants

monuments

the light that stayed

Heil im Sohn mein starkes Licht Alle Schuld verliert Gewicht

[Verse 1]
Pages turned, but ink keeps bleeding,
stories etched in fingerprints.
Every silence has a meaning,
I taste the past on my lips.

[Chorus 1]
What remains when the fire forgets?
Only embers that never decay.
I keep holding smoke in my hands,
from the ashes of yesterday.

[Verse 2]
Photographs dissolve to static,
faces blur, but eyes still stay.
Every promise feels elastic,
stretching thin, then fading away.

[Chorus 2]
What survives when the night moves on?
Only whispers the daylight betrays.
I keep building worlds out of dust,
from the ashes of yesterday.

[Bridge]
Maybe time is just a thief in disguise,
stealing light, leaving echoes behind.
I can’t tell if I’m chasing ghosts,
or if they’re the ones chasing me tonight.

[Final Chorus]
What remains when the heart won’t heal?
Only shadows that won’t fade away.
Still I cradle the silence I chose,
and the ashes of yesterday.

Ashes… of yesterday…
Still burning, still burning…

Still burning...
Still... I'm burning!

Ashes of Yesterday

What It Takes

The last soldier

I make the best of the worst I know

Lyrics 

I am dreaming, dear, of you, day by day;
Dreaming when the skies are blue, when they’re gray;
When the silv’ry moonlight gleams,
Still I wander on in dreams,
In a land of love, it seems—just with you.


Let me call you “Sweetheart,” I’m in love with you;
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too;
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true;
Let me call you “Sweetheart,” I’m in love with you.


Longing for you all the while, more and more;
Longing for the sunny smile I adore.
Birds are singing far and near,
Roses blooming everywhere;
You alone my heart can cheer—you, just you.


Let me call you “Sweetheart,” I’m in love with you;
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too;
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true;
Let me call you “Sweetheart,” I’m in love with you.
