Echoes In The Fire

I was walking through the silence of a broken avenue
Shadows dancing on the walls like they knew me better than you
Every step a distant memory, every breath a ghost
I was searching for a signal in the things I needed most

And I feel it coming closer now
Like a spark beneath the ground

We are echoes in the fire
Burning higher, rising through the night
We are more than our desire
Chasing something we can't hide
Through the dark, through the wire
We're alive, we're alive

City lights are flickering like a code I can't explain
Every face a passing moment, every love a trace of pain
But I hear a distant rhythm beating louder in my chest
Like a call I can't ignore anymore inside this mess

And it pulls me to the edge again
Like a voice I can't defend

We are echoes in the fire
Burning higher, rising through the night
We are more than our desire
Chasing something we can't hide
Through the dark, through the wire
We're alive, we're alive

If I fall, will you remember?
If I break, will you remain?
In the silence of forever
Will you call me back again?

We are echoes in the fire
Burning brighter than the fear inside
We are standing on the wire
Between the dark and the divine
Through the storm, through the fire
We survive, we survive

Starts melodic and spacious
Builds with delay + dotted eighth notes
Adds harmonic layers
Climaxes with sustained high notes and reverb wash
Ends fading into ambient echoes
