Verse 1:
In the silence of the night,
Where shadows dance with fading light,
A heart beats cold, a soul confined,
Lost within the darkened mind.
Chorus:
Rise, oh shadows of the forgotten,
From the ashes, cold and rotten,
Embrace the night, eternal sorrow,
Till the dawn brings no tomorrow.
Verse 2:
Whispers echo through the halls,
Broken dreams and ancient calls,
Veins run black with endless pain,
Drenched beneath the midnight rain.
Chorus:
Rise, oh shadows of the forgotten,
From the ashes, cold and rotten,
Embrace the night, eternal sorrow,
Till the dawn brings no tomorrow.
Bridge:
Chains of grief, they bind me tight,
In the depths of endless night,
A fragile hope begins to fade,
In this gothic masquerade.
Chorus:
Rise, oh shadows of the forgotten,
From the ashes, cold and rotten,
Embrace the night, eternal sorrow,
Till the dawn brings no tomorrow.
Outro:
[words are spoken in whispers]
Eyes like embers, burning deep,
Secrets that the silence keeps,
A requiem for all that's lost,
In the darkness, pay the cost
