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.

Λsʜᴇs ~RETURNS~[]

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].

Lyrics[]

English
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?
