PLAYING WITH FIRE LYRICS

Corridor of Choices

Yessica Degarc

I walk a corridor of choices ⁠— mirrors lining every wall,
Each reflection whispers certainties that soon begin to crawl.
Hands of clay shape fragile crowns from dust they barely know,
While unseen constellations wait to map the way to go.

When reason cracks beneath its weight,
And lanterns fashioned by our pride burn out,
Lift the gaze beyond the veil of doubt—
A silent compass turns, revealing higher ground.

Labyrinth of silver tongues, they promise paths of gold,
Yet every turn returns me to the hollow I extolled.
My measured thoughts are sinking stones in water far too deep;
A whisper stirs the surface, calling choices yet to keep.

Mute the clamor of the mind,
Let surrender tune the chord;
Where the finite meets design,
Footsteps find their true accord.

When reason cracks beneath its weight,
And lanterns fashioned by our pride burn out,
Lift the gaze beyond the veil of doubt—
A silent compass turns, revealing higher ground.

“Every path renewed by light unseen.”

Falsewise

Stop chasing smoke to stitch your bones, Cheap tricks can’t heal a heart of stone.
You drink from wells that run to dust— Turn from the noise; learn how to trust.

You buy new saints with plastic crowns, You quote the stars, then sell the clouds.
You call it “freedom,” but you crawl— A mirror maze, a paper wall.

Your maps are smoke; your guides are paid, Turn down the glare, step out of shade.
Breathe, be still, cut through the show— There is a truer road to go.

Stop chasing smoke to stitch your bones, Cheap tricks can’t heal a heart of stone.
You drink from wells that run to dust— Turn from the noise; learn how to trust.

You trade your compass for applause, You crown the wound and call it cause.
You bargain hope for easy fame— But empty hands can’t hold a flame.

Drop every charm, each rented light; Walk one step forward into night.
Faith moves the weight your pride can’t lift— Open your ribs; receive the shift.

Stop chasing smoke to stitch your bones, Cheap tricks can’t heal a heart of stone.

Playing With Fire

Yessica Degarc

You draw a circle, whisper in the smoke,
You want a shortcut for a broken hope.
Cheap little candles promise gold and cure,
But every glow you buy burns cold and impure.

Fast answers lie; true paths take time.

You’re playing with fire for a sign you can’t keep,
Trading your peace for a promise that’s cheap.
Masks on the night will not carry you home—
Drop all the tricks; choose the truer road.
You flip the cards, you chant a borrowed name,
You sell your silence for a flash of fame.
Broken mirrors tell you what you want to hear,
But every fix like this just feeds your fear.

Cut through the noise; let your heart stand firm.

You’re playing with fire for a sign you can’t keep,
Trading your peace for a promise that’s cheap.
Masks on the night will not carry you home—
Drop all the tricks; choose the truer road.

You’re playing with fire for a sign you can’t keep,
Trading your peace for a promise that’s cheap.
Masks on the night will not carry you home—
Drop all the tricks; choose the truer road.

We Will Meet Again

Yessica Degarc

Your photograph is warm with dust and sun,
I speak your name and feel my edges numb.
Streetlights hum like memories in rain,
I count the days by shadows on the pane,
And hope threads through the cracks, a quiet flame.

We will meet again where the night turns gold,
Where time runs clear and the hurt lets go.
I will carry your light through every road—
We will meet again, we will meet again.

When the world is loud and faith feels thin,
I lean on love and breathe you in.

I hear your laugh inside the moving trees,
It lifts the weight, then sets me on my knees.
No spell or drink can bring you to my door,
But love can cross the dark I can’t ignore,
And mark the path my tired feet search for.

We will meet again where the night turns gold,
Where time runs clear and the hurt lets go.
I will carry your light through every road—
We will meet again, we will meet again.

[Strings rise; clean guitars shimmer under a final heavy swell]
I hold your light until that morning.
Love is the bridge; I’m already walking.
We will meet again—beyond the mourning.
ooh will...... meet again---

Thunderbound Oath

Yessica Degarc

Iron wind across these streets at night,
Cold eyes learn what’s wrong and right.
Not by pride, not fear of man—
Thunder in our bones says “hold your hand.”
When the easy path screams “take what’s mine,”
We brace the heart, we draw the line.

Holy fear like lightning in our veins,
Keeps the blade from love, keeps blood from stains.
We walk the road, we won’t betray—
Power over powers shows the way.
(We won’t break, we won’t stray.)

False kings sell courage in a jar,
Cheap rage, quick glory leaves a scar.
But there’s a weight no fraud can fake—
A silent crown that makes us shake.
So we choose the truth when no one sees,
Mercy over rage, strength on knees.

Holy fear like lightning in our veins,
Keeps the blade from love, keeps blood from stains.
We walk the road, we won’t betray—
Power over powers shows the way.
(We won’t break, we won’t stray.)

“Let every hand be clean. Let every vow stand.”

Two Roads

Yessica Degarc

The city wakes with shaking hands,
You chase a fix you can’t command.
The noise is loud, your chest is tight,
You draw a map then lose the night.
I’m not immune to weight and pain,
But I won’t trade my soul for gain.

Two roads, one dawn— I choose the steady one.
Two roads, one dawn— not easy, but it’s strong.

Two roads, one dawn— I choose the steady one.
Two roads, one dawn— not easy, but it’s strong.

You say you stand on only you,
But shadows sell you easy “truth.”
I feel the strain, I hear the roar,
Faith doesn’t end it at the door—
It keeps my feet when light is thin,
A quiet guard that holds me in.

[same drive, sharper drum accents]
Storm pressing hard, I face it on—
Not out of sight, but moving on.

Two roads, one dawn— I choose the steady one.
Two roads, one dawn— not easy, but it’s strong.

[short, 6 bars; lyrical bends → brief harmony line; lands on chorus hit]
[Lead soars then resolves to root; rhythm stays tight]

The dark still speaks; my heart stays brave.
I walk the fire and do not cave.
Two roads, one dawn— I ride the wave.
[Final band strike; guitars and bass sustain into chilling tail]

The dark still speaks; my heart stays brave.
I walk the fire and do not cave.
Two roads, one dawn— I ride the wave.

Hold the Line

Yessica Degarc

Two voices wrestle in the mirror’s glare,
One wears ash and sulphur, one smells dawn-lit air;
Silver-tongued prophets tighten velvet chains,
While quiet sparks of grace still smolder in our veins.

Heartbeat hammers—choose the drum,
Crown of night or rising sun;
Shadows preach in perfect guise,
But faith ignites behind the eyes.

Hold the line inside the storm,
Hold .... the line
Fire and frost within transform;
Victory lives where you believe—
Let the unseen hand upraise your shield.

Sermons sold in neon marketplaces,
Every saint replaced by mirrored faces;
Yet in the hush between the lies and noise,
A trembling whisper calls—remember, choose.

Steel your pulse against their hymn,
Falsewise sages coil within;
Breathe the embers into light,
Turn the blade of doubt to fight.

Hold the line inside the storm,
Hold.... the line
Fire and frost within transform;
Victory lives where you believe—
Let the unseen hand upraise your shield.

Faith is not the absence of the night,
But the courage to ignite eternal flame.

Hold the line inside the storm,
Fire and frost within transform;
Victory lives where you believe—
Let the unseen hand upraise your shield.

He Never Turned His Eyes

Yessica Degarc

Ashen dawn breaks over empty steeples ...bells refuse to sing,
Flickering screens preach hollow solace...in a pixelated ring.
Candles gutter in abandoned chapels, breath of heaven thin
We wander through the noise, convinced the light grew dim.

Prophets for hire trade fear for profit, silk-tongued serpents sway,
Summoning nameless powers in neon temples of clay.
Every craving crowned as gospel, every wound a marketplace,
Yet the silence in our chests still echoes for His face.

If faith is more than whispers, Let our footsteps be the prayer;
Beyond the frantic thunder, A steady heartbeat waits us there.

No, the Maker never turned His eyes— We closed our own and called it night.
Reach through the veil with burning hands, He answers action, not the rite.

Ruined altars bloom with embers when the seeker kneels in dust,
Cracked mosaics glow like constellations when belief reshapes the rust.
Storm-torn hearts still house a compass spinning toward true North,
Each beat a silent summons to set our longing forth.

Faith is forged in motion, In the marrow of the fight;
Strike the steel of yearning— See the hidden sparks ignite.

No, the Maker never turned His eyes— We dimmed the flame and blamed the night.
Rise, illuminate the hollow sky; He meets the ones who dare to climb.
.... He never turned His eyes...He never will....

Drums surge like thundered surf, Guitars ascend in choral waves;
Choirs of wind and iron proclaim, The dawn our courage craves.
[Final chord sustained into cathedral-wide reverb—silence]

Faith is forged in motion, In the marrow of the fight;
Strike the steel of yearning— See the hidden sparks ignite.

No, the Maker never turned His eyes— We dimmed the flame and blamed the night.

.... He never turned His eyes...He never will....

Drums surge like thundered surf, Guitars ascend in choral waves;
Choirs of wind and iron proclaim,The dawn our courage craves.

Scarlet Testament

Yessica Degarc

In a quiet room I count my scars,
Rain on glass, a map of stars.
I am small beneath this endless sky,
Then a crimson line cuts through the night.
It finds my name where shadows live,
Warms my chest and teaches me to give.

When I fall and lose my ground,
A red river lifts me, turns me ’round.

There’s power in the blood that carried all my storms,
It turns my winter into dawn, it makes a shattered heart warm.
Greatest love—poured out and real—
It breaks my chains and helps me heal.
[Distorted guitars bloom, cymbals rise, then pull back to airy verse.]
that´s the Scarlet Testament
Scarlet........gift

I chased loud lights and hollow gold,
Spoke brave words that left me cold.
But this scarlet truth writes over shame,
Rinses salt from every flame.
It holds me steady, soft and strong,
Teaches my restless bones a song.

Let it flood these tired halls,
Fill the cracks within my walls.
I’m not lost; I’m being found—
Crimson mercy, circling ’round.

Crimson love, stronger than my fear—
Crimson love, I’m still here.
(Repeat hook softly while guitars build.)

There’s power in the blood that carried all my storms,
It turns my winter into dawn, it makes a shattered heart warm.
Greatest love—poured out and real—
It breaks my chains and helps me heal.
that´s the Scarlet Testament
Scarlet........gift

Blood of love, my heart made new.
Night to morning, proof shines through.
I live because You bled the truth.

AETHERWIND LIVE

Ethernal Dawn

Yessica Degarc

The shadows fall, the night awakes,
A silent prayer, the dawn it waits.
Through endless skies, the colors bleed,
A spark of hope, a quiet creed.

Through the veil of the fading stars,
A promise whispers, healing scars.

Eternal dawn, your light will rise,
Breaking chains beneath the skies.
In your warmth, we find our place,
A boundless love, a holy grace.

The winds will speak, the earth will sing,
Of journeys made, and what they bring.
Through endless trials, the light remains,
A guiding flame through loss and gains.

Through the veil of the fading stars,
A promise whispers, healing scars.

Eternal dawn, your light will rise,
Breaking chains beneath the skies.
In your warmth, we find our place,
A boundless love, a holy grace.

Rays of gold pierce through the haze,
Lifting hearts to endless days.
A crimson sky, the world reborn,
From shattered dreams, a soul is sworn.

Rise again, eternal light,
Guide us through the endless night.

Eternal dawn, your light will stay,
Forever shining, night gives way.

Rotten Reign

Yessica Degarc

In halls of gold, they whisper lies that sting,
With rotten souls, they rule as hollow kings
Their smiles are masks, their words a poisoned wine,
Corrupting roots in soil once deemed divine

The cries of many drown in shallow praise,
As greed takes hold, a fire set ablaze.
They stack their stones on bones of those they’ve bled,
While dreams of peace and truth lie torn and dead

They paint the world with fear and crimson hues,
Warped hands that twist the headlines into noose
With empty eyes, they sell a sunless dawn,
While justice waits, betrayed and overdrawn

Yet silent hearts still break and bend and ache,
In shadows cast by every law they break
What once was whole now fractures in their hands,
As kingdoms fall to greed’s unholy plans

We watch them build as all we value dies,
The ruins rise beneath a darkened sky.
“Those led by rot watch kingdoms rot in kind"

“Those led by rot watch kingdoms.... rot in kind"

rot in kind...... rot in kind

Silent Sentinel

Yessica Degarc

Silent sentinel, eternal flame,
Guardian of the sacred name.
Through endless time, through shadowed skies,
A steadfast watch where hope still lies.

Beneath the stone, where silence reigns,
A guardian waits, through joy and pain.
No mortal hand could break its will,
A sentinel, eternal, still.

Through storms and fire, it stands alone,
A sacred heart, a shield of stone.

Silent sentinel, keeper of light,
Through endless shadow, through darkest night.
A voice unspoken, a vow will stay,
A guardian's path, no soul can sway.

The winds will wail, the earth will quake,
Yet steadfast still, no oath will break.
Through ages past, through battles torn,
Its watch remains, its purpose sworn.

Silent sentinel, keeper of light,
Through endless shadow, through darkest night.
A voice unspoken, a vow will stay,
A guardian's path, no soul can sway.

Silent sentinel, eternal flame,
A timeless watch, unbroken claim.
Through every storm, through every strife,
The guardian stands, the pulse of life.

Tears of the Fallen

Yessica Degarc

Beneath the heavens, where silence falls,
An angel weeps, behind the walls.
A broken light, a shattered wing,
A soul that once dared to sing.

The sky turns gray, the stars grow dim,
A battle lost, a hymn within.

Tears of the fallen, cries in the night,
A song of sorrow, a fading light.
Through endless shadows, their pain remains,
A melody bound by heavenly chains.

The winds will howl, the stars will break,
A crimson sky, a burning ache.
Through fractured realms, their voice is heard,
A silent scream, a timeless word.

Through fire and ash, their heart still beats,
A sacrifice no time defeats.

Tears of the fallen, carved in the stone,
Echoing cries, forever alone.
A broken vow, a heavy crown,
The light they lost will not stay down.

Tears of the fallen, rise from the storm,
A flame reborn, a heart transformed.
Through endless skies, their light will soar,
A radiant glow, forevermore.

The Bonding Element

Yessica Degarc

In the silent halls of a distant past
Fragments of souls wander, torn and lost
A whisper through shadows that soon shall last
Beckons our hearts, despite the cost

Its voice, unknown, yet close inside
A flame that warms where fear would hide

The bonding element, unseen yet strong
Holds us together, makes right from wrong
Within the darkness, a gentle guide
Through deepest valleys, it will abide

We strain to find what lies beyond the veil
In broken whispers, truth is revealed
Mending the old wounds we dare not tell
A secret promise quietly sealed

The bonding element, unseen yet strong
Holds us together, makes right from wrong
Within the darkness, a gentle guide
Through deepest valleys, it will abide

As dawn emerges from old disguise
We find new strength behind closed eyes
The bond ignites in silent prayer
A light within, beyond all despair

Its voice still calls in gentle tone
No one must wander here alone

The bonding element, unseen yet strong
Holds us together, makes right from wrong
Within the darkness, a gentle guide
Through deepest valleys, it will abide

No one must wander here alone

The bonding element, unseen yet strong
Holds us together, makes right from wrong
Within the darkness, a gentle guide
Through deepest valleys, it will abide

First Song Unheard

Yessica Degarc

Before the stars, before the flame,
A silent hymn, no voice to name.
A song was born where none could hear,
A melody to draw us near.

A soundless cry, a spark of light,
Through endless void, it takes its flight.

The first song unheard, it guides the way,
Through shadows deep, to break the gray.
A voice of stars, a thread of time,
Eternal echoes, so divine.

Through fractured skies, the tune remains,
A beacon bright through endless plains.
Each note resounds, each chord will bind,
The song of life, the grand design.

A soundless cry, a spark of light,
Through endless void, it takes its flight.

The first song unheard, it guides the way,
Through shadows deep, to break the gray.
A voice of stars, a thread of time,
Eternal echoes, so divine.

From the silence, a hymn is made,
Through cosmic storms, it will not fade.
Its notes entwine, its voice is clear,
A timeless song for all to hear.

The first song unheard, it guides the way,
Through shadows deep, to break the gray.
A voice of stars, a thread of time,
Eternal echoes, so divine.

The River of Silent Path

Yessica Degarc

Beneath the skies, where whispers dwell,
A river flows through life's farewell.
Its waters shine, a silver gleam,
A bridge between the seen, unseen.

The current calls, it leads the way,
Through endless night to brighter days.

The river of silent paths, it flows,
Through hearts of stone and dreams untold.
Its voice, a song of light and grace,
Guides every soul to its rightful place.

The winds will speak of lives once passed,
Of moments fleeting, shadows cast.
Each step we take, a story weaves,
Through time eternal, as it breathes.

The current calls, it leads the way,
Through endless night to brighter days.

The river of silent paths, it flows,
Through hearts of stone and dreams untold.
Its voice, a song of light and grace,
Guides every soul to its rightful place.

The river of silent paths, it flows,
Through hearts of stone and dreams untold.
Its voice, a song of light and grace,
Guides every soul to its rightful place.

Truth Stands Still

Yessica Degarc

In haste, we cling to what our hands can hold,
A fleeting truth that’s shallow, plain, and fast
Yet, in the heavens, wonders unfold,
A steadfast love for all that will outlast

We look to earthly signs, demand them now,
A truth that doesn't test nor make us wait,
Unseeing of the mercy’s endless vow

From heights that keep an ever-open gate

We reach for shadows, forsake the light,
Chasing illusions that lead to night,
While truth stands still, just out of sight

The one above extends His boundless grace,
Yet few will pause to glimpse the higher call

We turn our gaze to idols, quick to chase,
Afraid to trust in what we cannot scrawl

Oh, seek beyond, let spirit’s sight unbind,
For truth is patient, endless, undefined

Oh, seek beyond, let spirit’s sight unbind,
For truth is patient, endless, undefined

Whisper of Creation

Yessica Degarc

A world unborn, a breath unseen,
A spark ignites where none has been.
The stars align, the void takes form,
From endless stillness, life is born.

Through timeless winds, the whispers call,
A voice that breaks the silent wall.

Whisper of creation, rise and sing,
Through shattered skies, your echoes ring.
A symphony in every soul,
The birth of hope, the heavens' goal.

The ocean stirs, the mountains wake,
A masterpiece in every quake.
Each step we take, the path is drawn,
A light that leads till night is gone.

Through timeless winds, the whispers call,
A voice that breaks the silent wall.

Whisper of creation, rise and sing,
Through shattered skies, your echoes ring.
A symphony in every soul,
The birth of hope, the heavens' goal.

From the silence comes the sound,
Light and shadow all around.
A harmony that spans all time,
The voice of love, the great design.

Rise, creation, lift your flame,
Burning bright, forever the same.

Whisper of creation, soft and true,
In every heart, it speaks anew.
