From the recording SONUS NOCTURNUM
Ashes Awake is a high-intensity gothic rock anthem about destruction turning into rebirth.
The song captures the moment when silence ignites — when fear, pressure, and inner conflict transform into raw power. Flames, storms, and shattered pieces aren’t symbols of defeat here; they are catalysts. The fire doesn’t destroy — it awakens.
Driven by urgency and desire, Ashes Awake lives in that space between falling and flying. It’s about burning through darkness and discovering that even in chaos, you are still alive.
This track stands as a declaration:
From ashes, I rise — not weakened, but awakened.
Lyrics
Ashes Awake
Verse 1
Flames in the silence,
shadows ignite,
I’m running through midnight,
no place to hide.
Chorus
Ashes awake,
my soul’s on the wire,
bleeding through darkness,
I burn, I desire.
Verse 2
Chains can’t contain me,
I’m breaking apart,
a storm in my veins,
a fire in my heart.
Chorus
Ashes awake,
my soul’s on the wire,
bleeding through darkness,
I burn, I desire.
Bridge
Falling but flying,
I’m shattered, alive,
A kiss of destruction,
keeps me revived.
Final Chorus
Ashes awake,
my soul’s on the wire,
forever consuming,
I burn, I desire.
