Ashes and Amber Groove (wersja 2)

Verse

Water tank rattling on the rooftop floor

Steel drum burning by the stairwell door

Pigeons scatter when the bassline hits

Gold dust settling on my fingertips

Corrugated iron catching amber light

City spread out like a coal field tonight

Grandmother's beadwork tied around my wrist

Every ancestor moves when my hips twist

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climb the stairwell

Rising past the water tank

Every spark knows where it's traveled

Every step lands where they sank

Chorus

Ashes and amber, this groove in my bones

Ashes and amber, never alone

Ashes and amber, the drum finds home

Ashes and amber, we rise and we glow

Verse

Washing lines swaying with the midnight breeze

Redbrick stairwell holds the memories

Footprints in soot where my mother stood

Same rooftop, same fire, understood

Skyline flickers like a thousand drums

Township lights answer where the echo comes

Soot on my ankles, embers in my chest

Fire never sleeps, it just takes a rest

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climb the stairwell

Rising past the water tank

Every spark knows where it's traveled

Every step lands where they sank

Chorus

Ashes and amber, this groove in my bones

Ashes and amber, never alone

Ashes and amber, the drum finds home

Ashes and amber, we rise and we glow

Bridge

Hold my palms up to the sparks that scatter

Every name that came before still matters

Rooftop turns to open sky above me

Ash remembers everyone who loved me

Chorus

Ashes and amber, this groove in my bones

Ashes and amber, never alone

Ashes and amber, the drum finds home

Ashes and amber, we rise and we glow
