Lyrics

Verse I – The World That Forgot to Die

I woke beneath a sun that bled,
A million ghosts inside my head.
The cities moaned beneath their weight,
Of promises the dead create.
A mother screams, her throat is torn,
She’s birthing dust instead of form.
And every prayer the heavens sent,
Came back as ash and punishment.

Pre-Chorus I

We kissed the fire, we begged for rain,
We built our hope from others’ pain.

Chorus

Fall — beneath the ashen veil,
Where love and horror both prevail.
Cry — and sing for all we’ve lost,
For every soul that paid the cost.
Burn — the guilt that time concealed,
Bleed — until the wound is healed.
We’re all the same beneath the veil —
Beautiful, broken, frail.

Verse II – The Choir of Rot

Children laughing in the flame,
They never learned to fear the pain.
The oceans cough, the sky decays,
The moon forgets its borrowed phase.
And in the ruins of my chest,
A dying heart still beats for rest.
It whispers soft — We tried our best,
But love itself became the pest.

Pre-Chorus II

We drank the poison just to feel,
What truth would taste like if it healed.

Chorus

Fall — beneath the ashen veil,
Where love and horror both prevail.
Cry — and sing for all we’ve lost,
For every soul that paid the cost.
Burn — the guilt that time concealed,
Bleed — until the wound is healed.
We’re all the same beneath the veil —
Beautiful, broken, frail.

Bridge – The Human Dirge

And I can hear the endless choir,
Of every dream consumed by fire.
They sing in tongues of rust and glass,
Their voices cut the hours that pass.
They sing for all who never spoke,
For those who broke, and stayed broke.
No heaven hears, no devil cares,
Just echoes gasping for repair.

Final Chorus – The Last Breath

Fall — beneath the ashen veil,
Where life itself begins to fail.
Cry — and sing for all we’ve lost,
Their names still burning in the frost.
Burn — the world that couldn’t stay,
Bleed — until it fades away.
And when there’s nothing left to feel,
We’ll know the pain was real.

Outro – Silence Ascends

And from the smoke, a flower grew,
Its petals black, its scent was truth.
It whispered soft — through endless rain,
We die, so love can live again.

Concept Summary

“The Ashen Veil” marks the final movement in EQUINØX ØFFICI∆L unholy triptych — the culmination of a descent through faith, ruin, and revelation.
Where “My Dying Flower” mourned the death of innocence, and “Crown of Rust” defied the silence of God, “The Ashen Veil” stands in the aftermath the quiet wasteland left when both heaven and hell have burned away.

This song is an elegy for the entire human race.
It is a hymn for the lost, the grieving, the broken and for those who still dare to feel. 
Through haunting verses and apocalyptic imagery, EQUINØX strips existence to its barest truth: we are all suffering together beneath the same veil of ash.

The refrain:
“Cry and sing for all we’ve lost,”
echoes like a funeral mass for humanity, uniting billions of silent voices into one final, trembling song. 
The ashen veil itself becomes a metaphor for the shared grief that blankets the world a fragile shroud of memory and regret that both separates and binds us.

Sonically and lyrically, “The Ashen Veil” channels pure catharsis: the collapse of cities, the decay of the body, and the collective mourning of those left behind. It’s a requiem not just for the dead, but for the living who carry their ghosts.

Together, we’ll create a shared experience of raw energy, dark beauty, and cathartic release.
