Ash drifts down the empty streets
Flames dance where silence rules
I carry stories they forbid
A spark hidden beneath the fire
Eyes blind to truth around them
Voices swallowed by fear
Yet in the quiet of my mind
Ideas awaken, defy the dark
No law can chain the thought
No flame can burn the mind
I hold the words they try to erase
I speak where silence reigns
Through the shadow of a burning world
Knowledge survives, unshaken, alive
Whispers grow into echoes
Echoes turn to fire
Even when the city sleeps
Resistance breathes in every heart
Pages vanish in the blaze
But memory keeps the flame
Each thought a quiet rebellion
Each heart a library untamed
The world may demand forgetting
But the mind remembers still
Through fear, through shadow
Curiosity remains
I hold the words they try to erase
I speak where silence reigns
Through the shadow of a burning world
Knowledge survives, unshaken, alive
Even if the world forgets
Knowledge lingers in the heart
Through fear, through shadow
The resistance lives
And when the ashes settle
The stories whisper on
Eternally
The stories whisper on
