[pre-intro] (fast speech) сколько бы надежды я не обретал снова, все каждый раз приходит к одному
[Intro] (a bit dramatic)
In a world of concrete shadows, I walk alone
Silent scars, unspoken, carved in my bones
Bright illusions, shattered in my mind
Seeking a peace I’ll never find
[Verse 1] (starting quiet and melodically, slowly adding more emotions and singing normally]
They call it progress, but it's just a disguise
Masking the greed behind tired, hollow eyes
Laughing at chaos, drowning in trash
Every word they spew, just a pretend-smash
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I see through the masquerade
Colorless, everyone afraid
Is this the future we’ve made?
A game where no one’s played fair?
[Chorus] (half made of scream)
Raise your glass to the fading light
In this circus of endless night
Burned by the flames of your own greed
Find a world you’ll never need
[Verse 2]
From iron towers to the trash-strewn streets
Echoes of sorrow, the bitter defeats
Piercing laughter, hollow cheers
A symphony of hopes shattering in tears
[Pre-Chorus] (screaming last words of pre-horus)
Can you hear the silent screams?
Lost in the mess of broken dreams
Reality’s cruel extremes
Built on lies, or so it seems
[Chorus] (half made of scream)
Raise your glass to the fading light
In this circus of endless night
Burned by the flames of your own greed
Find a world you’ll never need
[Break]
[Guitar solo] (acapella without words)
[Bridge](whispering at start, gradually becoming loud and scream at finis)
Oh, the irony’s thick, like smoke in the air
We’re dancing on graves, unaware
Of the poison we bottle and sip
On this sinking ship, on this sinking ship
[Break]
[Outro] (melodic, sadly, a bit dramatic)
Still searching for that quiet place
A lonely star in a starless space
Though I drown in the chaos’s tease
I dream of a world, just peace, just peace
