[Intro]
(Soft, melancholic piano)
Fmaj7 | C/E | Dm | G
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 C/E I’ve watched the world through tired eyes Dm Bb A painted stage where heroes die Fmaj7 C/E A fleeting dream, a fading age Dm Bb I wonder if we’ll turn the page
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb F But here we stand, on broken ground Gm Dm Hearts like embers burning out Bb F We hold on tight, we lose the fight Gm G And now the light slips out of sight
[Chorus]
F C/E The world’s ablaze, a sky on fire Dm Bb We reach for hope, but lose desire F C/E A futile fight, we never learn Dm Bb As ashes fall, we watch them burn
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 C/E I built a home from fragile stones Dm Bb Tried to feel safe, but I’m alone Fmaj7 C/E The gardens bloom, then wilt away Dm Bb I hold my breath, can we be saved?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb F The shadows grow, they creep too fast Gm Dm We hold on tight, but nothing lasts Bb F We close our eyes, the end draws near Gm G But all we feel is burning fear
[Chorus]
F C/E The world’s ablaze, a sky on fire Dm Bb We reach for hope, but lose desire F C/E A futile fight, we never learn Dm Bb As ashes fall, we watch them burn
[Bridge] (Key Change to G major)
C G But maybe love will find its way Em C Through all the wreckage and decay C G I close my eyes and dream of light Em C But it’s so far, so far tonight
[Chorus]
G D/F# The world’s ablaze, a sky on fire Em C But in the dark, we still aspire G D/F# A love so strong, it starts to rise Em C Through all the ash, beneath the sky
[Outro]
(Piano fades to a single note, echoing strings swelling)
