INCENSE AND ASHES | Gothic Metal by Novantra

Incense and Ashes is a dark gothic duet where devotion, destruction and desire collide.
What begins in fragile stillness — bare piano, whispered longing — slowly transforms into a ritual of fire and sound.

A male and female voice intertwine like prayer and confession, rising from incense-filled silence into crushing guitars, double bass drums and a storm of emotion.
Faith turns to ash. Love burns brighter than belief.

This song explores the moment where devotion is no longer pure —
where what we worship consumes us.

🕯️ For fans of gothic metal, dark symphonic music, doom-infused ballads and cinematic shadow soundscapes.

Welcome deeper into the world of Novantra.
Where beauty and ruin walk hand in hand.

Title: INCENSE AND ASHES

Verse 1

Candles flicker in the hollow air
Incense rises like a prayer
I follow your name in the fading light
Saints look away this holy night

Ashes fall to the floor
Of promises we've made before
I kneel where faith and fire collide
With broken vows, I can't hide

Pre-Chorus

Heaven listens, hell stands near
Every truth we cherish is fear

Chorus

Incense and ashes
Faith turns to flame
We burn in silence
Calling no name
If love is sin, let it be so
I fall with you, eternally

Verse 2

Your shadow stains These hallowed walls
Like angels after violent falls
I taste the smoke on my tongue
An unfinished hymn, never sung

I hear the bells, but feel no peace
This sacred wound will never heal
If this devotion is my end
Damn me now – I will not repent

Pre-chorus

We are fire disguised as prayer
Love laid bare, irreparable

Bridge

In the smoke I see your face
Mercy undone, unholy mercy

Let the altar break in two
I would still choose the fall with you

Final chorus

Incense and Ashes
Heaven in Flames
We Burn Together
Not Bound by Names
If Love is Sin, Set Me Free
I Will Burn with You—Forever

Outro

Ashes Fall…
Still I Remain…
