Ashes, alternatively spelled as Λsʜᴇs in soundtrack listings, is a Japanese electronic song with lyrics written by cAnON and sung by Gemie. Instrumentals were composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. It can be found on the official soundtrack and remix collection[1][2].
Unlike other lyrical songs, Ashes has two lyrical versions with different instrumentals used in Promare: Λsʜᴇs and Λsʜᴇs ~RETURNS~. Fan extensions have been made including both.
Appearances in Promare[]
Λsʜᴇs[]
Λsʜᴇs ~RETURNS~[]
- Freeze Force's raid at Fennel Volcano
- Lio being used as fuel
Background[]
As explained by Sawano in an interview with Natalie, the song acts as a theme for Lio's despair similar to NEXUS. This goes along with the song's placements. Also like NEXUS, both songs use a female vocalist to balance out genders. Ashes' lyrics were done by cAnON instead of Benjamin and mpi[3].

I could hear the signs calling out from the bottom of the fire I am like a torch flickering in the wind as the saying goes |
Lost all my precious Rage ate me up Endless forlornness has made me numb I'd rather rise from here Or should I hold on to my past? |
They’ve burnt to ashes Faded to grey Returned to the earth Yes it's meant to be Uncertain flame of hope I found Will you lead me back on the right track? |
