[Verse 1]
Moonlight threads through the silver casket lid,
Clock hands rust on the night I hid,
Portrait eyes in dust, your name I traced,
Centuries folded like a shadowed lace.
[Pre-Chorus]
Fingers cold on the chapel stone,
Whispers taped to a vow, undone, alone,
Heartbeat echo — distant, then it climbs,
A single ember keeps counting time.
[Chorus]
Burn me back to life — burn me back to life, (hook)
You came like summer through the endless night,
Burn me back to life — burn me back to life,
Crimson ribbon, and your hands hold mine. (repeat hook)
[Post-Chorus / Vocal Ad-libs]
(ah-ah) Burn me back — (ooh) back to life — (whoa)
(la-la) Burn me back — (sarang-ida) [softly]
[Verse 2]
You walked on moonlit cobblestone, barefoot and bare,
Perfume of roses, blood-sweet in the air,
No fangs behind your smile, no coffin seam,
Just human heat that wakes my buried dream.
[Pre-Chorus]
Night recedes like a curtain drawn apart,
Your breath rewrites the map upon my heart,
Silver vials shatter, frost turns to rain,
I learn the language of skin again.
[Chorus]
Burn me back to life — burn me back to life, (hook)
You came like summer through the endless night,
Burn me back to life — burn me back to life,
Crimson ribbon, and your hands hold mine. (repeat hook)
[Post-Chorus / Short Bridge]
(soft) Clock hands stop — (grow) we move on, we move on,
(soft) Old ghosts drop — (grow) new day’s dawn, new day’s dawn.
[Rap / Bridge - Punchy, darker tone]
(Spoken / Rap) Midnight ledger, I kept your name in ledger folds,
Silver teeth, cold breath, I counted years like coins of gold,
You slipped through time, barefoot rebellion on my stone,
Now your pulse is thunder, break the seals, break the chrome.
No halo, no halo — just scars that glow like city lights,
I’m the shadow king who learned to bow to human fights,
Flip the script, flip the curse, watch the moon combust,
From tomb to touch — from ash, from dust — in you I trust.
[Bridge — Emotional Climb]
Hands on skin, the world rewrites its lines,
Every scar a map to where your sunlight finds,
I used to count the stars that never lied,
Now I count the seconds in the look inside your eyes.
[Final Chorus — Variation with Korean line & harmonies]
Burn me back to life — burn me back to life, (hook, harmonic stack)
You came like summer through the endless night,
Burn me back to life — burn me back to life,
Crimson ribbon, and your hands hold mine.
Burn me back — burn me back to life (lead),
사랑이다 — sarang-ida (weave in choir) — love reborn tonight.
[Outro — Soft, lingering]
Moonlight folds away but we remain,
Clock hands healed, no rust, no chain,
I waited out a thousand yawning skies,
Now in your dawn — I’m no ghost, I’m alive.
[Final Ad-libs]
(whisper) Burn me back — (breath) burn me back to life,
(soaring) Burn me back — (soft choir) sarang-ida — burn me back to life.
