[Verse]
Lantern lights on forgotten streets
Underneath the tower's feats
Wooden beams now turned to gray
Echoes lost in neon sway
[Chorus]
Where did the whispers of the stone paths go
Buried under lights that blind and glow
The city's heart now beats too loud
Lost in the rush of a restless crowd
[Verse 2]
The shamisen plays but no one hears
Drowned by the hum of fleeting years
A koi once swam through a timeless stream
Now it’s a screen of a fading dream
[Bridge]
Oh city high with its blinking stare
Do you recall that the earth was fair
Roots pulled up for glittered might
Forgotten souls beneath your height
[Chorus]
Where did the whispers of the stone paths go
Buried under lights that blind and glow
The city's heart now beats too loud
Lost in the rush of a restless crowd
[Verse 3]
A temple bell calls through choking smog
It tries to cut through the digital fog
Memories linger but slip like sand
Humble roots
Lost in your hand
