[Intro]
In a world where the shadows stretch long,
Whispers of truths hidden in song,
We gaze at the stars, feel the weight of our plight,
Searching for solace in the depth of the night.
[Verse 1]
Only the good die young, they say,
While the reckless and ruthless find joy in the fray,
Ignorance waves like a flag of deceit,
Blinded by privilege, they trample the weak.
[Pre-Chorus]
Nice guys keep smiling, but no one can see,
How kindness can crumble when met with greed,
Tearing at seams we so desperately weave,
While the world keeps spinning—who dares to believe?
[Chorus]
Oh, the irony sings, in the heart of the night,
Heaven's so far, where wrongs turn to right,
True happiness hiding, not found on this ground,
A dance with the shadows, where silence is loud.
[Verse 2]
Life's filled with echoes of dreams left behind,
The foolish keep climbing, the enlightened resigned,
They chase empty promises, glittery lies,
While golden hearts wither, beneath cloudy skies.
[Pre-Chorus]
Nice guys keep smiling, yet burdened they stand,
Unraveling softly like grains of quicksand,
In the twilight of wonders, their spirits grow thin,
Oh, how the heart crumbles, where dark lives begin.
[Chorus]
Oh, the irony sings, in the heart of the night,
Heaven's so far, where wrongs turn to right,
True happiness hiding, not found on this ground,
A dance with the shadows, where silence is loud.
[Bridge]
So take heed, all you dreamers, hold tight to your flame,
In the game of this life, you’re all playing the same,
Kindness might falter, but hope never will,
For in moments of darkness, we muster our still.
[Outro]
Only the good die young, but we learn to survive,
In a world full of chaos, find peace to revive,
Though heaven may beckon from the depths of the sky,
We’ll stand with the stars, unbroken, we’ll fly.
