Do it for you
Make yourself smile
Do it for you
You'll go for many miles

If you think
You're not enough
Open your eyes
You're surely enough

Take a spin
With yourself
You better enjoy
And defend yourself

"Duet in Gloom"

Written in the silence after everything fell apart.
It’s about surviving the burn and choosing yourself—finally.
For anyone who's walked through fire and lived to feel the quiet after.
This one’s for you.
— Daughters of Ruin

The Fire I Became

Quiet in the Flame

Hear the full story with lyrics behind this song and watch the official video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/d9ZB0VxcA5I

Concrete Ghost is a raw, emotional piece about life on the fringes — unseen, unheard, but still standing. It’s for those who wander city streets like shadows, carrying memories heavier than their steps.

Homelessness was a big part of my life that's why I wrote this song as outlet and for the people still out there.

This track continues the story I started with Ashes in the Grey — giving voice to the ghosts we become when the world stops seeing us.

🎧 Listen. Feel. Share.

Concrete Ghost | Echoes of the Pavement

Erased Me

The Flame’s Echo is an anthemic rock journey of memory and rebirth, where the echo of the past fuels the fire of the present. With driving guitars, soaring harmonies, and a pulse that never lets go, the song moves between shadowy verses and blazing choruses, capturing the balance between reflection and transformation. It’s both intimate and epic—an invitation to rise from ashes and carry the flame forward.

there is something strange in the air
don't you feel it?
Or is it that I'm just so sensitive?

[ bridge]

A little while ago, 
I made a wish on a falling star
as they used to do
many years ago
[ bridge]
Now the wish has  come through

[ drop ]

When we get away from here
we'll be living among
[ bridge]
common people again

Go ahead and kiss each other
like you dont't mind enyone
This is a good advice 
What’s lent with heart 
[ bridge]
shall not be lost

what do you expect in August night?
Take a look yourself,
before it gets too light

Did you see, what I see?
[ bridge]
So made a wish on a falling star
as they used to do
many years ago
Now the wish has  come through
[ bridge]
So we together can go.

[ electric leading metalis sharp desrt raw solo intermezzo ]


Those  falling stars are muddling everything
What do you thinks it mean?
[ bridge]
What can it be and what for?

[ dark synths intermezzo ]

One lounly soul is flying up,
[ bridge]
while others see  just falling stars...
[ bridge]
[ instrumental outro ]

I’m HeartForge, a creator who turns emotion into sound and silence into story. My work spans genres, but every track is forged from something raw: heartbreak, longing, obsession, or the echo of what never was. Some songs burn slow. Others bite back. All of them are personal.
Beyond music, I build story-driven AI bots designed to stir something real. Horror, romance, heartbreak, or something stranger, each one is a world that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. I don’t just write characters. I forge them, in heat, silence, and whatever truth you bring to the flame.

Welcome to the forge.
