The village of shadows

Verse 1

Cobblestones cracked, houses leaning with age,

Windows like eyes that are empty with rage.

The church bell is silent, the tavern runs dry,

Children don’t laugh, and no birds ever fly.

Chorus

This is the village of shadows,

Where sunlight has forgotten the way.

Every soul wears sorrow like shackles,

Every night bleeds into the day.

Verse 2

Faces are pale, and their whispers are low,

Tales of the Devil they all seem to know.

The tavern-keep warns with a bottle in hand,

“You’ll never leave once you’ve entered this land.”

Chorus

This is the village of shadows,

Where sunlight has forgotten the way.

Every soul wears sorrow like shackles,

Every night bleeds into the day.

Bridge

The air tastes of ash, the graves overflow,

The Burgomaster fallen, with nothing to show.

And yet in the dark, a resistance still hides,

A flicker of hope the Devil derides.

Final Chorus (heavier)

This is the village of shadows,

Where fear is the law of the land.

But the chains will rattle and break,

If the brave still dare to stand.

Outro (soft, fading)

Cobblestones cracked, houses leaning with age…

The Devil still rules, and he writes every page.
