00:16In the halls where laughter used to dance like fireflies
00:23Now only shadows cling to walls that bleed the cold
00:30The crown I forged in sweat and silent promises
00:35Lies scattered like forgotten dreams on marble floors turned stone
00:42She walked in light, a veil of silk and whispered vows
00:50Drank from my veins while smiling like the dawn
00:55Now the wells run dry, the rivers turn to dust
01:02And every breath I draw feels heavier than stone
01:11All the embers in the void, they flicker then they die
01:18No light to guide this hollow chest, no reason left to try
01:23She took the stars I hung for her, the worlds I built alone
01:31Left me wandering these empty roads, a king without a throne
01:43Embers in the void
01:51Little voices that once called my name in morning light
01:57And now echo fame through corridors of endless night
02:04The steeds I rode through storms, the chariot of pride
02:12All vanished in the mist, no trace of where they ride
02:18Her touch was gold that turned to chains around my soul
02:24A mask of warmth that hit the winter in her eyes
02:31Now the kingdom crumbles, foundations turn to sand
02:37And I stand among the ruins, just a ghost who can't move on
02:45And all the embers in the void, they flicker then they die
02:52No light to guide this hollow chest, no reason left to try
02:58She took the stars I hung for her, the worlds I built alone
03:05Left me wandering these empty roads, a king without a throne
03:18Embers in the void
03:32I hear the silence screaming louder than the wars I fought
03:36The weight of what was stolen crushes every thought
03:40No hands to hold, no future left to chase
03:46Just endless grey
03:48Where colours used to race
03:52Why rise again
03:54When every dawn just brings more pain
03:58Why breathe this air
04:01When all that's left is rain
04:06All the embers in the void
04:10They flicker then they die
04:13Tears of a broken empire fall from these tired eyes
04:19Everything I ever was
04:23Reduced to ash and bone
04:26A falling king in endless dark
04:30Forever
04:33All alone
04:35Embers in the void
04:38No more fire, only night
04:42Embers in the void
04:45No more fire, only night
04:50In the void
04:52No
04:55Embers in the void
05:20Embers in the void
05:22No more fire, only night
05:23No more fire, only night
