[Intro]
Shadows curl along the walls of dusk
Footsteps thin as secrets, tolling hushed
A name I whisper where the candles sulk
Kagame, in the half-light, I breathe in doubt
[Verse 1]
I walked with you through rooms of hollow vows
Where trust wore thin like rusted crowns
Your eyes kept score of every wrong
And the echoes told me I didn’t belong
[Pre-Chorus]
The weight of what we did won’t fade with time
It lingers in the air, a distant chime
[Chorus]
Kagame, I hear the distant bells of what we’ve become
A shadowed oath, a threadbare drum
The price we pay for acts that won’t unwind
In the dusk, I carry your crimes in mine
[Verse 2]
Danger lines your path with quiet lies
I taste the ash of broken alibis
Loyalty, a map that folds and breaks
Consequences tighten like a chain you make
[Pre-Chorus]
If truth could speak, it’d cut like winter rain
Leaving me with the cold, a lingering stain
[Chorus]
Kagame, I hear the distant bells of what we’ve become
A shadowed oath, a threadbare drum
The price we pay for acts that won’t unwind
In the dusk, I carry your crimes in mine
[Bridge]
Past the silhouettes of memory’s gate
We walk the line where mercy disperses fate
If mercy fades, what’s left is a hollow sound
The echoes of loyalties that drowned
[Chorus]
Kagame, I hear the distant bells of what we’ve become
A shadowed oath, a threadbare drum
The price we pay for acts that won’t unwind
In the dusk, I carry your crimes in mine
[Outro]
So I stand where night and silence bleed
Count the shadows and the deeds I’ve fed
Kagame, the weight remains, a quiet shrine
And all the echoes tell me I’m not fine
