Ashes Don’t Remember | Gothic Metal Duet | Novantra

We burned it all. And nothing answered. Two souls. One broken world. And a love that survived the fire, even when everything else was reduced to ashes. Ashes Don’t Remember is a dark, emotional gothic metal duet by Novantra — a story about destruction, regret, and the haunting silence left behind when the things we tried to save are already gone. They believed the fire would set them free. They thought the ashes would bury the past. But if everything has disappeared, why are they still holding on? Featuring haunting female vocals, deep male vocals, heavy guitars, cinematic atmosphere, and a powerful emotional chorus, this song explores the ruins of a love neither of them knows how to leave behind. “If the fire erased us, what is left of me?” If this song speaks to you, leave a 🖤 in the comments and tell us what you hear in its silence.

Was there anything at all? If everything is gone Why do we still hold on? Ashes don’t remember What we tried to save All the love we carried Buried in the blaze Ashes don’t remember Who we used to be If the fire erased us What is left of me? I feel it in the distance Like a ghost of what we were But every time I reach it It dissolves into a blur I tried to rebuild meaning From the ruins of the past But every piece I’m holding Was never meant to last You say that we’re still breathing But I don’t feel alive There’s nothing left to anchor me There’s nowhere left to hide I thought that pain would leave me If I let it burn away But numbness is the only thing That chose to stay If nothing still remains Why are we the ones in chains? Ashes don’t remember What we tried to save All the love we carried Buried in the blaze Ashes don’t remember Who we used to be If the fire erased us What is left of me? I wanted resurrection Something pure and new But all that we created Was a colder truth Then why am I still reaching? For something that is gone? If nothing waits beyond this Why are we holding on? Let it fade Let it end Ashes don’t remember Neither do we All we were is fading Into nothing we can keep No fire No light No return Only the quiet ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎧 STREAM & SAVE New Album Out Now ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/album/4pQEKC...
