Anthem of the Lonely

Shadows crawl walls of my mind

No echoes no voices no light to find

Fist clenched tight a heart gone cold

Breathing heavy in the silence of old

City lights burn but they don’t see me

Crowds surround but I’m still empty

Wolves howl out under a blood-red moon

I scream back but it fades too soon

I am the storm I am the void

Broken pieces of what was destroyed

Stand tall in the wreckage alone

An anthem carved in the marrow of bone

Chains of doubt wrapped ‘round my soul

Caged and beaten digging my own hole

But the fire inside it won’t go out

It roars louder than this world’s shout

Let the thunder crash let the walls fall down

Let the rain drown this godforsaken town

I’ll rise from ashes a king of despair

Crowned in the silence no one else dares

I am the storm I am the void

Broken pieces of what was destroyed

Stand tall in the wreckage alone

An anthem carved in the marrow of bone
