Verse 1
In a town where the clock ticks death,
And the fog coils ‘round like a serpent’s breath,
A dreamer stood where the shadows breed,
With a heart of ash and a soul that bleeds.
Pre-Chorus
They’d walked the streets where silence screams,
And the stars above whispered fevered dreams.
“The veil is torn, the path is near,
A darker world is calling you here.”
Chorus
So I’ll leave the life that’s chained and worn,
Step through the mist where nightmares are born.
Where the rivers howl and the mountains weep,
And the world is a labyrinth, vast and deep.
Verse 2
With a map of secrets and a lantern’s glow,
They slipped through the cracks where the lost winds blow.
The cobblestones crumbled, the air turned thin,
As the gates of twilight drew them in.
Pre-Chorus
The forest hummed with a spectral tune,
The moon dripped silver, the stars were strewn.
“You’ve left the weight of the mortal’s grind,
Now dance with the shadows, let your spirit unwind.”
Chorus
So I’ll leave the life that’s chained and worn,
Step through the mist where nightmares are born.
Where the rivers howl and the mountains weep,
And the world is a labyrinth, vast and deep.
Bridge
Here, the trees murmur of ancient decay,
And the ocean’s wail is a dirge for the fray.
The skies are smeared with a crimson hue,
And the air is alive with a haunting view.
Verse 3
No more the shackles of a life confined,
They’ve found the darkness they’d left behind.
The dreamer laughed, their spirit untamed,
In a world where the monstrous is unashamed.
