Shadow of a Friend

(Background whispers)

Laughter echoes, bright and clear

In the darkness, shadows leer

Once close, now a chasm wide

One infected, can't hide

(Spooky whispers intertwine)

Fading light, losing sight

Night consumes, out of sight

Friendship torn by shadow's grip

Falling into darkness's slip

(Chanting chorus with layered voices)

Darkness take over, swallow the light

Under the curse, out of sight

Friend turned foe, no more right

In the shadow, we lose the fight

(Eerie instrumental with whispering voices)

Echoes of laughter, now despair

Infected soul, unaware

Can we save what’s been lost?

Or pay the ultimate cost?

(Soft fading voices)

Darkness takes, silence falls

Echoes of friendship, behind these walls

Silent screams, forever bound

In darkness, we're never found
