Verse 1:
I wake in the rubble, shadows loom,
A soldier’s spirit trapped in the gloom.
Echoes of laughter now distant and cold,
In this hell, I’m growing old.
Chorus:
Lost in the ashes, can’t find my way,
Every breath I take feels like yesterday.
I’m just a ghost, wandering lost,
Counting the scars, drowning in the cost.
Verse 2:
The city’s on fire, buildings decay,
Once stood proud, now they but lay.
I reach out for something that’s no longer there,
Just memories fading, like dust in the air.
Chorus:
Lost in the ashes, can’t find my way,
Every breath I take feels like yesterday.
I’m just a ghost, wandering lost,
Counting the scars, drowning in the cost.
Bridge:
Voices scream inside my mind,
War never ended, it’s all intertwined.
Day by day, I lose my name,
In this bleak world, all that remains is blame.
Verse 3:
I tread through the darkness, blind to the light,
Each step I take deepens my fight.
Silent prayers for a fate unknown,
A weary heart in a heartless throne.
Chorus:
Lost in the ashes, can’t find my way,
Every breath I take feels like yesterday.
I’m just a ghost, wandering lost,
Counting the scars, drowning in the cost.
Outro:
As the world crumbles, I stand alone,
Dystopian dreams have overthrown.
In the end, what will it mean?
A soldier forgotten in a world, so unclean.
