[Intro – Distant echoing choir, hollow reverb]
[whisper]
“They never left…
they were just waiting
for me to hear them again.”
[Verse 1 – Slow, mournful]
Shadows line the empty hall,
Names carved faint on crumbling walls.
Every echo knows my shame—
Every whisper speaks my name.
Footsteps fall where none should tread,
Ghosts of all the tears I shed.
Memories I left behind—
Gather here… to claim my mind.
[Pre-Chorus – Choir swells slightly]
I feel their voices pulling close,
A thousand truths I can’t oppose…
They sing the things I tried to flee—
The lives I lost inside of me.
[Chorus – Haunting, sorrowful]
In the Choir of the Forgotten,
Where the broken learn to sing…
Every sorrow left unspoken
Rises on a tattered wing.
All the dreams that time has stolen,
All the wounds that never healed—
In the Choir of the Forgotten,
Every silence is revealed.
[Verse 2 – Deeper strings, heavier grief]
Portraits hang in shattered gold,
Frames that couldn’t hold the old.
Faces fade like falling ash—
Versions of me lost in the crash.
Laughter echoes bitter, thin—
A song of where I should have been.
Every joy I failed to save
Calls to me from shadowed graves.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Chorus grows stronger]
I hear the voices fill the air,
A symphony of my despair…
For every truth I threw away,
They gather here…
to mourn today.
[Chorus 2 – Bigger, more emotional]
In the Choir of the Forgotten,
Where the broken learn to sing…
Every moment left unspoken
Clings to every fragile string.
All the hopes that time has stolen,
All the tears I never cried—
In the Choir of the Forgotten,
All the ghosts stand at my side.
[Bridge – Spoken, devastated whisper]
“I hear them…
all the versions of me I left behind.
They never moved on.
They just waited…
for me to break enough to hear them.”
[Final Chorus – Full choir, emotional peak]
In the Choir of the Forgotten,
Where the heart learns how to mourn…
Every soul I left unspoken
Stands beside me… reborn.
All the truths that time has stolen,
All the wounds that shaped my past—
In the Choir of the Forgotten,
I find my voice…
at last.
[Outro – Single choir note fading into silence]
[soft male tone]
“…I remember you now.”
