No Light Without You

Beneath The Hollow Sky

Echos In The Quiet

No Light without you

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

The night is long, the fire’s gone, And every shadow feels like home. I hear your name in the falling rain, But the silence cuts me just the same.

No light without you, No breath without you. I’m just a ghost in an empty room, And I can’t go on without you.

The glass is cracked, the song is torn, I’m colder now than I was before. I hold the weight of the words I’ve lost, Every memory comes at a cost.

No light without you, No breath without you. I’m just a ghost in an empty room, And I can’t go on without you.

If the river takes me down, Let it carry me to you. If the fire burns me out, Let the ashes prove it’s true.

No light without you… No breath without you… I can’t go on… without you.

Letters in the rain

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

I wrote a letter in the pouring rain, Hoping the water would wash my pain. Every word I carved was torn and frayed, But I kept it close for a brighter day.

And I say to myself, Don’t let the silence win. There’s a light in the dark, And it starts from within. Oh, I say to myself, You are more than the storm, Every broken heart Can be reborn.

I found a mirror in the autumn leaves, It showed the shadows and what I believe. Though the night is long, the dawn will stay, I remind myself in a quiet way.

And I say to myself, Don’t let the silence win. There’s a light in the dark, And it starts from within. Oh, I say to myself, You are more than the storm, Every broken heart Can be reborn.

Carry on, carry on, Through the fire and the rain. Carry on, carry on, Every loss can teach again.

So I say to myself, Don’t let the silence win…

don’t let me fade

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

I see the shadows fall across your face, Every word unspoken I can’t replace. The silence lingers, heavy in the air, I reach for you, but you’re not there.

And I’m breaking, slowly breaking, On the edge of what remains…

Don’t let me fade tonight, Hold me beneath the firelight. Through the ashes, through the rain, Don’t let it end this way. Don’t let me fade… Don’t let me fade away.

I walk through cities filled with empty eyes, Haunted by the echo of our last goodbye. If love is dying, let it take my breath, Better broken here than lost to death.

And I’m breaking, slowly breaking, But I’d give it all again…

Don’t let me fade tonight, Hold me beneath the firelight. Through the ashes, through the rain, Don’t let it end this way. Don’t let me fade… Don’t let me fade away.

Stay—if only for a moment, stay. Stay—don’t turn your face away. I’m nothing in the quiet, Without you I’m a ghost…

Don’t let me fade tonight, Hold me beneath the firelight. Through the ashes, through the rain, Don’t let it end this way. Don’t let me fade… Don’t let me fade away.

don’t let me fade away…

chains and dust

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

I’ve been crawling in the dirt too long, Every shadow’s got a preacher’s song. Blood on my hands, smoke in my veins, Digging my grave in the pouring rain.

Chains and dust, chains and dust, Every road I take turns to rust. Chains and dust, chains and dust, Can’t escape the weight of us.

I hear the thunder where the lost ones pray, Every sinner’s voice won’t fade away. Bones gonna break, fire’s gonna rise, Ain’t no mercy in these crooked skies.

Chains and dust, chains and dust, Every road I take turns to rust. Chains and dust, chains and dust, Can’t escape the weight of us.

Ooooh (chains and dust) Ooooh (chains and dust) Ooooh (chains and dust) We’re all turning back to dust.

Chains and dust… chains and dust… Til we’re nothing but chains and dust.

way down

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

There's a shadow on my back I can't outrun, Every step I take, it weighs a ton. The river calls my name, but it runs so slow, Tell me, where do the broken go?

Do we bury the fire, when the night turns cold? Do we carry the weight, when it cuts our soul? Way down, way down we fall... Til there's nothing, nothing at all.

I heard the thunder in the church's walls, Every echo sounds like mercy's call. But the silence in my bones, it won't let me sleep, Every promise that I made is a wound too deep.

Do we bury the fire, when the night turns cold? Do we carry the weight, when it cuts our soul? Way down, way down we fall... Til there's nothing, nothing at all.

And the flames, they don't forgive... And the flames, they don't forgive... No, the flames, they don't forgive.

Way down we fall... Way down we fall... Til there's nothing at all.

godless devotion

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

I came to you in silence With my hands already tied I let you drink my spirit Like water in the night You said your love was holy But it burned like cursed wine And now I kneel before you Just to be denied

You said this was salvation But all I see is flame You pulled me into darkness And whispered out my name

So take what’s left, Devour me whole I am your flesh, Your dying soul My skin, your altar My blood, your wine This love – divine? Or just a lie?

I watched your shadow rising Behind a veil of gold You fed me sweet delusion Until my heart went cold

Sanctify me – in the fire of your mouth Crucify me – if I ever pull out I’m the lamb, I’m the blade I’m the prayer you never prayed

And if I fall again… Let it be for you. Only for you. Always… for you.

the weight of ashes

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

There’s a river in my chest I cannot cross, Every current pulls me deeper into loss. The ceiling cracks, the stars begin to bleed, I’m breaking on the edge of what I need.

And I hear it still, the echo of a name, A shadow carved in fire, calling me to blame.

If the silence is my only truth, Then let it tear my body into proof. I’ve been searching through the ruins of the dawn, But every light reminds me you are gone.

I built a kingdom made of brittle bones, It crumbled in the weight of all I’ve known. The smoke still lingers heavy in my lungs, A hymn unsung, a war I never won.

If the silence is my only truth, Then let it tear my body into proof. I’ve been searching through the ruins of the dawn, But every light reminds me you are gone.

I can’t escape, I can’t outrun, The silence swallows every word I’ve sung. I can’t escape, I can’t outrun, The silence tells me I am not enough.

I am not enough… I am not enough… The silence tells me I am not enough.

Amelia

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

Amelia, the morning wears your face, I see your light in every hidden place. The quiet speaks the words I never say, But you’re the reason I’m awake today.

Amelia, you carry all my skies, Amelia, you keep the fire alive. If the night should fall and the stars grow dim, I’ll find my way back home to you again.

Amelia, the river learns your song, It takes me where the gentle hearts belong. The world can turn, but I won’t let you go, Your name’s the only truth I’ll ever know.

Amelia, you carry all my skies, Amelia, you keep the fire alive. If the night should fall and the stars grow dim, I’ll find my way back home to you again.

Amelia… Amelia… I’ll find my way back home to you again.

beneath the hollow sky

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

I walked alone where the quiet fields remain, The soil was broken, but it spoke your name. The dawn was fragile, the night was near, Yet in the silence, I could feel you here.

And the wild, it calls my soul, Through the fire, through the cold. Every shadow learns to fade, Every wound is gently made.

The river moved with a song I used to know, It carried sorrow, but it let me go. The wind it trembled, the earth it sighed, But still the heavens opened wide.

And the wild, it calls my soul, Through the fire, through the cold. Every shadow learns to fade, Every wound is gently made.

Oh, I am not afraid, Even when I break. For the wild will carry me, Through the dark, to the sea.

In the quiet fields I’ll stay… Till the wild has shown the way.

echos in the quiet

Lyrics & Melody written by Sam / Studio1813

I know how to stay, when the night won’t leave, I know how to wait, for the air to breathe. The walls don’t move, but they speak to me, I know how to stay, I know how to stay.

Every echo breaks the silence, Every shadow learns my name. If the quiet wants to drown me, I will whisper just the same.

I know how to bend, when the weight is near, I know how to hide, from the voice I hear. The ground won’t shake, but it pulls me down, I know how to bend, I know how to bend.

Every echo breaks the silence, Every shadow learns my name. If the quiet wants to drown me, I will whisper just the same.

I’m not afraid of the quiet… I’m not afraid of the quiet… I’m not afraid of the quiet…

I know how to stay, when the night won’t leave… I know how to stay, I know how to stay.
