[Intro – Soft piano, distant strings]
(whispered)
Stars do not truly perish…
they simply learn to fade.
[Verse I – Clean, fragile voice]
I kept your name in winter,
beneath layers of salt and glass,
like an echo trapped in silence
inside a shattered past.
Our promises were comets
burning without a guide,
so beautiful and fleeting
as a heartbeat left behind.
[Pre-Chorus – Slowly rising]
Though the heavens broke within my hands,
though the dawn refused to rise,
there’s a quiet human ember
that refuses still to die.
[Chorus – Emotional, powerful, orchestral]
Where the stars go to die
my eternity begins,
from the ruins of your absence
I forged the storm within.
If our love became a battlefield
and silence was the truth,
in the ashes I discovered
even loss can make you move.
[Verse II – Stronger guitars, building intensity]
I walked across broken mirrors
without fearing bleeding feet,
every wound a whispered promise
I would rise beyond defeat.
The shadows shaped my courage,
the fall taught me to see
even the most shattered spirit
can reclaim its dignity.
[Bridge – Soft, intimate, then swelling]
(whispered)
I wept for you like one weeps for the ocean…
knowing it won’t reply…
(choir softly)
In tenebris… invenio me…
(rising voice)
But in the deepest midnight
my heart began to cry—
[Final Chorus – Higher, liberating, majestic]
Where the stars go to die
my fire learns to burn,
I no longer fear the thunder—
I am what I’ve become.
And if the sky should crumble
and truth be torn apart,
from every fallen tear
will rise a fearless heart.
