Inside the Embers

By The Ronin Project · Metal · From the album Inside the Embers

Ash crawls steady up your arms

Like a past you tried to shake

You swore the fire left you cold

But embers never break

They memorize your fractures

Each scar you tried to hide

They wait beneath the silence

For the moment you collide

You thought you burned the past away

But fire keeps the trace

Every ember knows the shape

Of who you were before the blaze

Inside the embers, your truth remains

Inside the embers, it speaks your name

You rise, but still the fire shows

The starting point that shaped your growth

Inside the embers— you learn to see

That who you were fuels who you'll be

You feel the heat rebuilding

But it doesn't burn the same

This flame recalls your origin

Not just the loss or blame

Every time you fell apart

The ember kept the spark

A tiny map of where you've been

Glowing quiet in the dark

You feared the light behind you

Afraid it meant return

But embers hold direction

Not a path that must re-burn

Inside the embers, your truth remains

Inside the embers, it speaks your name

You rise, but still the fire shows

The starting point that shaped your growth

Inside the embers— you learn to see

That who you were fuels who you'll be

Ash is memory

Heat is proof

Fire carries

The broken truth

To climb the blaze

To move ahead

you face the parts

you thought were dead

Know where you began

that's how you rise

The ember holds the map

You tried to hide

Inside the embers, your truth remains.

Inside the embers, it speaks your name.

You rise, but still the fire shows

The starting point that shaped your growth.

Inside the embers— you learn to see

That who you were fuels who you'll be.
