Ashes at Dawn Market (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Coal smoke curling by the market gate

Embers glowing where the vendors wait

Ash falls soft on my bare feet

Dawn is breaking to a slow heartbeat

Old man stirring in the fire pit

Sparks like stars where the night just sat

I breathe it in, let the grey take hold

Something ancient in the smoke and gold

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the coals still burning

Underneath the market stone

Every breath I take is turning

Ashes into bone

Chorus

Ashes at dawn, rising with the light

Feet in the smoke, moving toward the light

Fire in my chest, wide open sky

Ashes at dawn, we never say goodbye

Verse

Baskets full of bread and rusted tin

Women singing low where the day begins

Braziers glowing orange through the haze

Every ember holds a hundred days

Grandfather's hands once stirred this same flame

Nothing here has ever changed its name

I move my hips where the smoke turns thin

Dance the fire further into skin

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the coals still burning

Underneath the market stone

Every breath I take is turning

Ashes into bone

Chorus

Ashes at dawn, rising with the light

Feet in the smoke, moving toward the light

Fire in my chest, wide open sky

Ashes at dawn, we never say goodbye

Bridge

I am the ember

I am the flame

I carry the market

In my veins

Grey turns to gold now

Gold turns to sound

This is how the fire

Comes back around

Chorus

Ashes at dawn, rising with the light

Feet in the smoke, moving toward the light

Fire in my chest, wide open sky

Ashes at dawn, we never say goodbye
