Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The fractured skyline, harsh and deep,
A silent tomb where shadows creep,
The whispered secrets that I keep,
As desolation starts to sleep.
(Verse 2)
I walk the ruins, stone by stone,
A spectral city, overgrown,
Each gust of wind a mournful moan,
Leaving me utterly alone.
(Chorus)
Why was I spared, this bitter prize?
When all the vibrant fires died,
A solitary soul, beneath these empty skies,
With nowhere left for hope to hide.
This crushing weight, a hollow grace,
A lonely echo in time's space.
(Verse 3)
The phantom voices fill the air,
Of laughter lost and love's embrace,
A heavy shroud of black despair,
Upon this unforgiving place.
(Verse 4)
I search the heavens, cold and bleak,
For answers hidden in the stars,
A fragile future, worn and weak,
Behind these unforgiving scars.
(Chorus)
Why was I spared, this bitter prize?
When all the vibrant fires died,
A solitary soul, beneath these empty skies,
With nowhere left for hope to hide.
This crushing weight, a hollow grace,
A lonely echo in time's space.
(Guitar Solo 1)
(Bridge)
I scream into the chilling air,
A desperate plea, a final call,
Is this my cross, my deep despair?
To stand alone and watch it fall?
Or must I seek a truth untold,
A purpose from the ashes, cold?
(Guitar Solo 2)
(Verse 5)
Each passing day, a heavy chain,
Each silent night, a deeper dread,
I search for meaning in the rain,
Among the ghosts of all the dead.
(Outro)
The dust will settle, slow and deep,
While memories begin to fade,
A silent promise I will keep,
In this new world, so cruelly made.
Alone... forever...
In the gray...
And question...
Why...
I stay...
