Ashes of Yesterday
From the album From Dust to Ballads
A nostalgic and melancholic opener reflecting on memories and the remnants of the past.
Lyrics (translation)
[Verse 1]
The past is a wound, it bleeds through my chest Each memory’s fading, but the pain won’t rest I’m holding the proch of the days that we shared A ghost in my soul, with a heart torn and bared
[Pre-Chorus]
The echoes of yesterday, they tear through my core But I’ll carry their weight, though my heart’s ever sore
[Chorus]
Ashes of yesterday, they slip through my hands In the proch of my heart, where the sorrow still stands Though the past is a ghost, I’ll hold its faint glow With my tears in the dust, I’ll learn to let go
[Verse 2]
The laughter we knew, now it’s dust in the rain Each moment we lost, it’s a lingering pain I’m chasing the shadows of a time that’s no more But the proch of my dreams keeps me tied to the shore
[Pre-Chorus]
The echoes of yesterday, they tear through my core But I’ll carry their weight, though my heart’s ever sore
[Chorus]
Ashes of yesterday, they slip through my hands In the proch of my heart, where the sorrow still stands Though the past is a ghost, I’ll hold its faint glow With my tears in the dust, I’ll learn to let go
[Verse 3]
I’m gathering fragments of a life left behind Each tear is a seed where my strength I’ll find The proch of my past is the ground where I stand I’ll rise through the sorrow, with my heart in my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
The echoes of yesterday, they tear through my core But I’ll carry their weight, though my heart’s ever sore
[Chorus]
Ashes of yesterday, they slip through my hands In the proch of my heart, where the sorrow still stands Though the past is a ghost, I’ll hold its faint glow With my tears in the dust, I’ll learn to let go
[Bridge]
No chains can hold the grief I’ve known The ashes of yesterday, I’ll face them alone I’ll weave my pain into a spark that will stay From the proch of my heart, I’ll find my way
[Final Chorus]
Ashes of yesterday, they slip through my hands In the proch of my heart, where the sorrow still stands Though the past is a ghost, I’ll hold its faint glow With my tears in the dust, I’ll learn to let go
[Outro]
From the dust of my past, through the pain I’ve sown In the ashes of yesterday, I’ll find my home
