[Verse]
Shadows crawl the empty street
No faces left just dust and heat
I scream but the echo cheats me
Blades whisper through the night
Cutting truth from wrong to right
What’s left when we’ve lost the fight
[Prechorus]
Cold hands grasp the flame
What’s a hero without a name
[Chorus]
In the shadow of the blade
All our sins are weighed
Tell me who we’ve saved
In the shadow of the blade
[Verse 2]
Blood drips on the hollow ground
Every footstep a deafening sound
Chains of guilt they hold me bound
Eyes like daggers pierce my mind
Searching for what I can't find
A future we’ve left behind
