Love Will Never Burn

When Notre Dame burned, it wasn’t just a building we mourned, it was the loss of something we thought would last forever. This song explores the grief of sacred collapse and the enduring presence of a love that fire cannot consume.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pungent smoke like incense burning
Rose up from the spire
It lingered in the Paris sky
the cathedral was on fire
Alarm Bells rang like Quasimodo
still lived in the tower
The faithful prayed their rosaries,
And call upon God's power

[Verse 2]
Ashes fell like winter,
cloaking every soul in grief
While tourists stood there weeping
pilgrims knelt in disbelief
Saints of stone gave way to flame,
their faces turned to dust
Ancient beams consumed by fire,
Devouring every truss

[Bridge]
Even the greatest of cathedrals
will one day fade away
Every temple cracks and crumbles
And only dust remains

[Verse 3 ]
I mourn the walls that shaped me
And the stones that taught me grace
The organ’s mighty breathing out
the melodies of faith
Now the sky is my cathedral
But it’s still not wide enough
To hold the sacred mystery
Of everlasting love

[End]
It wasn’t love we lost that day
It wasn’t mercy, wasn’t grace
Not the light that reaches sorrow
Or the hope that fills the hollow space
A thousand years can crumble
But the God of love endures
A fire can take the rafters
But love will never burn
