Samurai (Zero Tool) - Ashes Still Fall (Cyberpunk 2077)
Sometimes, Night City doesn’t scream.
It just exhales — smoke, neon, memory.
And you realize…
the fire’s gone,
but the ashes are still fallin’.
You don’t rage, don’t fight —
you just exist
in the cracks between corporate dreams
and the ghosts of everything you used to be.
This one’s not for the rebels or the heroes.
It’s for the ones who stayed…
long after there was a reason to.
🎤 Samurai — “Ashes Still Fall.”
For those still walkin’.
[Verse 1]
City lights like open scars,
Flicker quiet behind the bars.
Walkin' slow through broken glass,
Every dream too sharp to pass.
Fought for something, can't recall,
Name's erased from every wall.
Tired hands, no one to hold,
Warmth was sold and turned to cold.
[Chorus]
Ashes still fall when the fire is gone,
Echoes stay long after the song.
You don't scream when you've lost your breath,
You just keep walkin' with nothin' left.
Ashes still fall — like snow, like truth,
Like every vow we broke in youth.
And I still walk, though I feel no flame,
Just shadows whisperin’ my name.
[Verse 2]
Used to rage, used to run,
Fought their gods, stared at the sun.
Used to care what freedom meant,
Now I barter with the rent.
Every battle left a stain,
On my skin, on my brain.
But the mirror shows a ghost,
Who lost the war he needed most.
[Bridge]
“You said it would change.”
“You said they’d see.”
Now it’s just me and this city asleep…
…and I can’t even dream.
[Chorus]
Ashes still fall when the rage burns out,
When silence screams and hope’s in doubt.
And I don’t cry, don’t scream, don’t pray —
I just walk through another day.
Ashes still fall — soft and slow,
From the sky we used to know.
And maybe one day I’ll feel the rain…
Or maybe I’ll just fade the same.
[Outro]
I’m not angry. I’m just done.
Still walkin’. Still here. Still none.
