[Verse]
Turn of the millennium dawned
Chaos lingers storms have spawned
Y2K’s fear lights flicker dark
New century leaves its mark
[Verse 2]
Twin towers fell smoke filled the sky
A nation wept world asked why
War on terror endless dread
Broken dreams deserted heads
[Chorus]
Chronicles of shadows cold
Stories of a world bold
Rising from the ashes bleak
Voices of the silent speak
[Verse 3]
Hurricane Katrina’s wrath
Flooded streets no clear path
Lost and found in waters deep
A city’s cries no one sleeps
[Verse 4]
Economic downfall grayed
Recession’s clutch lives betrayed
Homes abandoned banks denied
Empty wallets steel promise died
[Chorus]
Chronicles of shadows cold
Stories of a world bold
Rising from the ashes bleak
Voices of the silent speak
