“Only Ashes Remain” is the closing lament of The Warrior’s Tragedy — a sorrowful ballad that drifts through grief, silence, and the emptiness left by love undone.
After the fateful deed, the warrior is left with nothing but echoes of her laughter, memories of her gentle touch, and the hollow weight of a life without her. Where once there was fire, warmth, and hope, now only ashes remain.
With mournful strings and aching verses, this song embodies the silence after tragedy — when the battle is won, but the heart is lost forever. It is both a dirge and a prayer, a melody for those who have stood among ruins and felt the ache of irreversible loss.

Lyrics:
The sword lies quiet, the war is done,
yet no victory warms the setting sun.
The banners rise, the trumpets call,
but I hear only her silence fall.
Ashes where she stood,
nothing where love should.
I traded her heart for a crown of pain,
and I’ll never be whole again.
The fields we dreamed of, the home we planned,
all slip away like grains of sand.
Her laughter lingers, a ghost in the air,
a life denied, too cruel to bear.
Ashes where she stood,
nothing where love should.
I traded her heart for a crown of pain,
and I’ll never be whole again.
Her name is carved in my every breath,
her shadow walks with me in death.
No hymn nor prayer can cleanse this stain,
I killed my joy, my sweetest flame.
I kneel where her body lies in sleep,
a vow unspoken, a wound too deep.
If gods can hear, let them take this man,
for I’ve undone all that love began.
Ashes where she stood,
nothing where love should.
I traded her heart for a crown of pain,
and I’ll never be whole again.
Ashes… only ashes remain.
