[Intro – soft piano and atmospheric pads, gentle vocal entry]
(whispered, intimate)
Even if the stars burn out…
I still feel your touch…

[Verse 1]
A thousand winters could bury the sun
Time could carve my name into dust
And still my heart would call for you
They could steal every echo we made
Erase the traces, fade the light away
But your essence lingers inside my veins
A fire no eternity can ever slay

[Pre-Chorus]
No ocean vast, no chain of fate
Can drown this longing, it’s too late

[Chorus – full band enters, soaring vocals, driving beat]
I will never let you go, never let you fade
You’re branded on my soul in colors that won’t break
Through every lifetime, every tear I cry
You’re the flame that never dies, never dies
No, I’ll never release you, never turn away
You’re the pulse that keeps me breathing night and day
Till the end of forever, till the heavens collide
You’re the flame that never dies

[Interlude – lush strings swell, light percussion drop, vocal ad-libs]
(passionate, breathy)
Ohhh… I still taste your kiss…
Even when the ages forget… I remember…

[Verse 2]
They could tear my memories from my mind
Leave me wandering, empty and blind
But your shadow dances in every dawn
Your whisper echoes when silence is gone
Every heartbeat carries your sacred name
A vow engraved where no force can claim
An eternal thread through the void and the flame
Binding us beyond what words can name

[Pre-Chorus]
No grave too deep, no storm too wild
Can bury what burns inside

[Chorus – bigger, layered harmonies]
I will never let you go, never let you fade
You’re branded on my soul in colors that won’t break
Through every lifetime, every tear I cry
You’re the flame that never dies, never dies
No, I’ll never release you, never turn away
You’re the pulse that keeps me breathing night and day
Till the end of forever, till the heavens collide
You’re the flame that never dies

[Bridge – stripped back to piano/vocals, intense emotion, then explosive build]
If I crumble into ash tomorrow
If the cosmos calls my soul away
I’ll still reach for you through endless sorrow
I’ll still fight to keep you here to stay
How could I ever… how could I ever…
Let a love like this dissolve in the gray?

[Final Chorus – massive, passionate, with vocal runs and choir-like backing]
I will NEVER let you go, NEVER let you fade!
You’re carved into my bones, in fire and in flame!
Through eternity’s endless, raging sky
You’re the flame that never dies, never dies!
No power in heaven, no void below
Can tear your light from the depths of my soul
Forever and always, till time itself unwinds
You’re the flame… the flame… that never dies!

[Outro – fading strings, soft piano reprise, final vocal whisper]
(tender, resolute)
Never… never…
The flame that never dies…
