Silent Shadows of Revenge

[Intro]
Silent tears, a broken vow
Shadows falling, can't get out now

[Verse 1]
He walked alone, down the cold dark hall
Heart heavy, echoing the fall
Trust was shattered like broken glass
Now he's haunted by the pain of the past

[Pre-Chorus]
He held the rage deep in his soul
A fire ignited, no control
Knew what he had to do, no turning back
A final act, now he's on this track

[Chorus]
Locked behind these iron bars
But his mind's a thousand scars
Lost his love, paid the cost
Now he's free, but he's lost
Revenge was sweet, but it ain't right
Now he spends his endless night
In this prison, cold and grim
A man who's lost his way again

[Verse 2]
Letters faded, days grow long
Memories of where he went wrong
Looking out through the barred window
Feeling the weight of all he’s known

[Pre-Chorus]
He whispers to the shadows near
Regrets and silent tears
Time's a thief, it took it all
Now he’s just a prisoner’s call

[Chorus]
Locked behind these iron bars
But his mind's a thousand scars
Lost his love, paid the cost
Now he's free, but he's lost
Revenge was sweet, but it ain't right
Now he spends his endless night
In this prison, cold and grim
A man who's lost his way again

[Bridge]
Is this the end or just the start?
A broken man with a battered heart
Could forgiveness be his salvation?
Or is this his damnation?

[Outro]
In the silence, he resigns
Caught in his own design
Living with the pain he made
In this cold, dark cage he stayed

Dark country ballad, acoustic guitar, somber vocals, minimal percussion
