Ashes & Gunpowder

Ashes & Gunpowder

Ran through the dark, hand in hand,
Swore we’d make them understand.
But the world don’t wait for dreamers,
It only builds believers just to break them down.

Now you're standing on the other side,
Cold blue flames in your shattered eyes.
Tell me, is there nothing left?
Or are you holding on by thread?

Every spark, every scar,
Led us here, but went too far.
Can we fight, can we run?
Or has the war already won?

We were ashes, we were gunpowder,
Striking matches, burning louder.
Now the city’s set aflame,
And we’re the ones who lit the way.
Are we sisters? Are we strangers?
Holding hands or trading dangers?
Tell me now, before it’s gone—
Will you stay, or pull the bomb?

Every memory fades to rust,
Every promise turns to dust.
Do you see me through the smoke?
Or am I just another ghost?

Neon shadows whisper lies,
Paint the past in violet skies.
You laugh, but I still hear the cries—
The echoes of the girl inside.

Every spark, every scar,
Led us here, but went too far.
Can we fight, can we run?
Or has the war already won?

We were ashes, we were gunpowder,
Striking matches, burning louder.
Now the city’s set aflame,
And we’re the ones who lit the way.
Are we sisters? Are we strangers?
Holding hands or trading dangers?
Tell me now, before it’s gone—
Will you stay, or pull the bomb?

If I reach, will you take my hand?
Or is this fate? A last stand?
I still see Powder in your eyes,
Or is she buried deep inside?

We were ashes, we were gunpowder,
Striking matches, burning louder.
Now the city’s set aflame,
And we’re the ones who lit the way.
Are we sisters? Are we strangers?
Holding hands or trading dangers?
Tell me now, before it’s gone—
Will you stay, or pull the bomb?
