A recorded reading of “Ashes Know Our Names”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
The world forgot our flame, our face— but ashes keep what time won't trace. No page remains, no voice, no tomb— just whispers left in ember bloom. They called us gone, but we remain— in myth, in smoke, in love's old name.
Lyrics
The world forgot What we became No story left To hold our name But in the ash Our vow still glows A love that time Could never close No one recalls The lines we drew But I still burn Because of you Ashes know our names Even if the wind forgets We left our souls Where stars once set In every ruin We remain Not ghosts, not dust But still the flame Ashes know our names Even if no mouth repeats They wrote us off In quiet tones But silence held What truth condones They can’t erase What death can’t claim We are the smoke Without the shame They buried us In nameless graves But something holy Still misbehaves Ashes know our names Even if the wind forgets We left our souls Where stars once set In every ruin We remain Not ghosts, not dust But still the flame Ashes know our names Even if no mouth repeats We are the fire That didn’t die The kiss that burned But didn’t lie Ashes know our names Etched in wind, in dusk, in flame You held me close Then let me stay Where myths remember What they can’t say
