Dance in the Ashes

[Intro – Industrial build-up - Glitching synths, distorted vocal samples repeating “burn, burn, burn…” - Machine hum rising beneath metallic percussion.] “burn, burn, burn…” [Guttural Spoken:] When the world forgets your name… you write it in fire. [Verse 1 – Angry Vocals] Feed the wires, light the flame Turn the cross into a frame No redemption, no return Only ghosts that watch it burn Ashes fall like sacred rain Iron blood inside my veins Every scream becomes divine Now your ruin looks like mine [Bridge 1 – Finnish growled chant] Polta maa, polta sydän Kaikki loppuu, kaikki jää Naura kuolleille, tanssi vielä Meidän juhla, meidän yö! [Chorus – Layered Vocals with Choir Synths] We dance in the ashes Of the world we betrayed Every sin we committed Is the music we play No gods, no masters Just the sparks we create We dance in the ashes Unholy, unafraid [Verse 2 – Half-spoken, half-screamed] Electric bones beneath my skin Hear the pulse of discipline Metal prayers through shattered glass Kiss the future, kill the past Breathe in smoke, exhale control Body’s gone, but not the soul You can’t kill what never died The machine still comes alive [Bridge 2 – Finnish + English overlap, pounding electronic rhythm] Valo kuolee – me elämme sen varjossa! Digital gospel through the noise Synthetic faith, mechanical toys Verta, verta, juhla alkaa! Raise your hands and let it spark Dance with angels in the dark [Chorus – Full Band + Choir Harmony] We dance in the ashes Of the world we betrayed Every sin we committed Is the music we play No gods, no masters Just the sparks we create We dance in the ashes Unholy, unafraid [Instrumental Break - Industrial percussion solo with mechanical hissing and pounding bass. - Distorted synth melody layered with machine-gun double-kick rhythm. - Glitchy vocal samples repeat:] “Burn again… rise again…” [Bridge 3] Hiljaa, hiljaa, tuhka putoaa Maailma palaa, mutta me tanssimme Ei armoa, ei loppua Vain tuli joka jää (Only fire remains) [Final Chorus – English/Finnish Fusion] We dance in the ashes (Tuhkassa tanssimme!) Of the world we betrayed (Petos on kaunein tie!) Every sin we committed (Jumalat kaatuu, me jäämme!) Is the music we play (We play, we play!) No gods, no masters (Ei jumalia, ei pelkoa!) Just the sparks we create (Tuli on ikuinen!) We dance in the ashes Unholy, unafraid [Outro – Slow electronic fade, distorted whispering] “Everything dies… everything burns… …but we dance
