The Last Flame

(Verse 1 – slow, broken)
The ground is cracked, the fire's low,
And all the ones I loved… let go.
I called for help, I called for light—
But silence answers every fight.
I held the line, I burned the sky,
But now I’m cold, I don't know why.
The heat is gone, the sparks have fled—
And all I hear are names of dead.
(Chorus – aching, desperate)
Could someone send a soul my way?
I’m breaking more with every day.
There’s so much left I didn’t say—
So much I lost along the way.
They're not here… I feel it now.
The world went still, I don't know how.
This flame is tired, it's time to bend—
I want it gone. I want the end.
(Verse 2 – low, smoldering)
I used to think I'd never fall,
That I could carry them all.
But ghosts don’t speak and fire won’t heal—
And none of this feels real.
Flame still circles in the skies,
But even dragons mourn and cry.
He roars for those we couldn’t save—
And circles now above my grave.
(Chorus – louder, strained)
Could someone send a soul my way?
I’m breaking more with every day.
There’s so much left I didn’t say—
So much I lost along the way.
They're not here… I feel it now.
The world went still, I don't know how.
This flame is tired, it's time to bend—
I want it gone. I want the end.
(Bridge – whispered, barely there)
I was the fire, I was the wall,
But even fire has to fall.
If this is where the story dies—
Let it be known, I tried.
(Final Chorus – gentle, fading)
So if you find this burning sound,
Know I stood tall before I drowned.
A thousand lives, a thousand cries—
All flickered out before my eyes.
They’re not here… but maybe you
Will light a fire, and see it through.
Let mine go dim, let silence mend—
Just let it go. Just let it end.
