[Intro: Female Vocals – low, distant] Sirens faded into memory, chalk washed out by rain, Case files stacked like tombstones, every answer stained. They say it’s over… say the killer’s gone, But the silence feels too careful… like something’s wrong. [Verse 1: Male Vocals] Months crawl by, streets forget his name, Blood dries up, but the fear remains. No new bodies, no fresh screams, Just a city holding its breath in its sleep. Dan’s got files spread across his floor, Red string snapping, can’t take it anymore. Every pattern ends where it shouldn’t end, Like the killer stepped back… not fled. [Pre-Chorus: Female Vocals] No goodbye, no final sign, No body count to close the line. Some monsters rage, then disappear— This one learned how to wait right here. [Chorus: Male Vocals] Cold case breathing in the dark, Heartbeat hiding after the spark. No knife raised, no blood tonight, Just a shadow stretched too tight. They say he’s gone—put it to rest, But silence never passed the test. Cold case breathing, watching time, Karl’s still here… just out of sight. [Verse 2: Male Vocals] Dan sees him everywhere now, In broken locks, in doors somehow. Every clean room feels staged too neat, Like someone practiced how to leave no heat. Sleep won’t come, just hallway light, Footsteps imagined every night. Karl’s not killing—and that’s the truth That splits Dan’s spine straight through. [Pre-Chorus: Female Vocals] Predators don’t always chase, Sometimes they vanish without a trace. When the hunt goes quiet too fast, That’s when the danger really lasts. [Chorus: Male Vocals] Cold case breathing in the dark, Heartbeat hiding after the spark. No knife raised, no blood tonight, Just a shadow stretched too tight. They say he’s gone—put it to rest, But silence never passed the test. Cold case breathing, watching time, Karl’s still here… just out of sight. [Bridge: Female Vocals – haunting, restrained] Time moves on, but fear stays fed, A monster doesn’t need the dead. Some legends die in flames and screams, This one lives between the seams. [Outro: Male Vocals – calm, controlled] No toast tonight, no glass to raise, No murals left for eyes to trace. Just patience sharpened to a blade, And a city fooled… thinking he faded. [Final Line: Whispered Female Vocals] “Cold cases don’t sleep… they listen.”
