Slip into the eerie glow of “Ash Speck in a Green Eye,” the haunting lead single from AFI‘s sixth studio album Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, out now through Rise Records. Dropping today on October 3, 2025, this 10-track return to their post-hardcore roots packs the punch of Sing the Sorrow’s drama with the raw edge of Decemberunderground, all while pushing into darker, more experimental territory. Frontman Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget spent years honing this one in their California studio, drawing from gothic influences and personal reckonings to craft something that feels both nostalgic and freshly unhinged. With production from the band themselves alongside help from longtime collaborator Nick Launay, the album balances blistering riffs, soaring choruses, and atmospheric builds that echo AFI’s evolution from punk upstarts to alt-rock icons.
As the track sixth, “Ash Speck in a Green Eye” sets a spellbinding tone, with Havok’s piercing vocals weaving tales of fractured visions and fleeting beauty over jagged guitars and driving drums. Fans on Reddit and X are already dissecting its poetic lyrics, linking them to the album’s overarching theme of light piercing shadow, much like the solar eclipse imagery in the artwork. It shares that intense intimacy with tracks like “No Eyes” and the piano-driven closer “Eclipse,” creating a cohesive journey through despair and defiance. Dive into the Ash Speck in a Green Eye lyrics below and unpack its shadowy gaze. Don’t miss other Silver Bleeds the Black Sun tracks like Holy Visions for more of AFI’s gothic punk storm.
Lyrics of Ash Speck in a Green Eye by AFI
[Verse 1]
There’s An Ash That Burns In Beauty’s Fire
Another Fawning Light Lost In Its Night
I’m An Ash That Burns In Beauty’s Fire
And I Fall, And I Fall Upon Its Fragile Knife
And I Beg For Each To Take My Life
For Each To Take My Life
[Chorus]
Each One, Each And All
My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne Duval
Anyone, Yeah, Each And All
For My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne Duval
My Jeanne Duval
[Verse 2]
I’m A Dying Gasp In Angel Sighs
Like An Autumn Sky, A Heart Attack
Over Beauty I Will Scream And Scream
And It Has Not The Grace To Even Smile Back
[Chorus]
Each One, Each And All
My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne Duval
Anyone, Yeah, Each And All
For My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne Duval
My Jeanne Duval
[Bridge]
Ash Speck In A Green Eye
One Blink Denies
Ash Speck In A Green Eye
One Tears Defies
[Chorus]
Each One, Each And All
My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne Duval
One And None, Yeah, Each And All, All
For My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne Duval
[Outro]
Each One
My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne, My Jeanne Duval
