Intro
Verse 1
Neon flickers in the rain,
Footprints fade on the backstage lane.
Microphones stand silent now,
City lights blur through the window pane.
Pre Chorus
We rode the storm, we owned the night,
But the dawn's a cold and empty sight.
Promises we made in smoke,
Whispered dreams and broken jokes.
Chorus
Ashes in the marquee, echoes of the night before,
We burned it down, but now it's gone, and I want more.
In the silence, I hear the roar,
Ashes in the marquee, echoes of the night before.
Verse 2
Hotel room's a cage of steel,
Mirrors show the wounds that won't heal.
Trophies gather dust and shame,
Fame's a ghost, a flickering flame.
Pre Chorus
We sang for blood, we sang for soul,
Now the road's a winding, lonely hole.
In the spotlight, we found our grace,
But the aftertaste is bittersweet disgrace.
Chorus
Ashes in the marquee, echoes of the night before,
We burned it down, but now it's gone, and I want more.
In the silence, I hear the roar,
Ashes in the marquee, echoes of the night before.
Bridge
In the quiet, I find my truth,
A tarnished crown, a reckless youth.
I won't hide from what I've lost,
In the ashes, I count the cost.
Solo
Chorus
Ashes in the marquee, echoes of the night before,
We burned it down, but now it's gone, and I want more.
In the silence, I hear the roar,
Ashes in the marquee, echoes of the night before.
