River Of Ashes | (Official Music) | Heavy Nu Metal | BV Metal

Time doesn’t wait — it drags everything with it.
This song dives into that struggle: fighting the current, holding onto pieces of yourself, and refusing to drown even when everything is slipping away.
A story of loss, memory, and rage against the river that takes everything.

🎶 Lyrics 🎶

Time moves like a river with a promise it never keeps,
Pulling everything I reach for out of sight and out of reach.
I watched my past drift by like cities drowned beneath the waves,
Every dream I tried to rescue sank before I learned their names.
I carved the dates into my skin so I would never forget,
But even scars start fading when the hours cut deeper than regret.
I chased the light across the water till the sunrise turned to dust,
And learned the truth the hard way — the current doesn’t care who it drags from us.
I tried to build a bridge across the years I couldn’t save,
But time erodes foundations with the things we never say.
The river swallowed whole the versions of the person I became,
Leaving echoes in the undertow whispering that I’m the one to blame.

I hold my breath as the current steals the ground beneath my name,
Every moment I defend is one the river tries to claim.

It pulls harder,
A river made of shadows tearing everything from me.
All the memories I reach for turn to smoke between my fingers when I breathe.
I keep fighting for the pieces of the life I couldn’t save —
But time runs darker,
And I get swept away.
I get swept away.


There was a night I tried to outrun all the seconds I had lost,
Counting every heartbeat like a soldier tallying the cost.
I stood on the ruins of the person I once swore I’d never be,
Watching how the tide erased the footprints that were left of me.
I searched the shore for answers like the ocean hid my cure,
But time keeps dragging anchors from the lives we can’t endure.
The future felt like thunder rolling heavy in my spine,
A warning that whatever comes will never match what’s left behind.
So I screamed into the dark, hoping the river might reply —
But the water only answered with reflections that were never mine.
Every truth I tried to hold bled out faster than the lies,
And the past I tried to salvage drifted farther every time.

I hold my breath as the current steals the ground beneath my name,
Every moment I defend is one the river tries to claim.

It pulls harder,
A river made of shadows tearing everything from me.
All the memories I reach for turn to smoke between my fingers when I breathe.
I keep fighting for the pieces of the life I couldn’t save —
But time runs darker,
And I get swept away.
I get swept away.


I walked the river’s edge again with everything I still regret,
Carrying the weight of seconds that I wish I could forget.
I saw the ghost of who I loved standing just beyond the tide,
Reaching out like she remembered every promise we let die.
But the river pulled her under, just the same it pulled at me,
Two shadows drifting helpless in a place we couldn’t flee.
I begged the water for a moment, just a fragment I could keep,
But time doesn’t trade mercy — only takes what runs too deep.
So I gathered all the moments that the current couldn’t steal,
Built a monument of whispers made of everything I feel.
And though the river calls my name with every breaking of the day,
I rise again, refusing to be carried all the way.
I won’t drown in fading echoes or the ruins of yesterday —
If the river wants me, it will have to drag me from the flame.

Dragged under —
But I’m still clawing at the weight of fate.
If time is just a river,
Then I will learn to break the waves.
Tear through the water,
Refuse to fade,
Refuse to break.

It pulls harder,
A river made of shadows tearing everything from me.
All the memories I reach for turn to smoke between my fingers when I breathe.
But I’m fighting for the pieces — for the life I couldn’t save —
And even if I’m sinking,
I won’t be swept away.
Not today.
I won’t be swept away.
