Shadowed Rain

[Intro] Rain taps the window, a shadow steps inside A coal-dark coat, a storm in his eyes [Verse 1] The door sighs open, lanterns throw their light Steam clouds rise, the night breathes tight Two silhouettes wait, like statues in rain Behind him, stillness, a heart unlabeled by pain The cook behind the counter holds her breath A flame of fear dances with the gusts of death [Chorus] In the glare of rain, fate walks through the door Cold as the thunder, he asks for something more Silence like velvet, the room holds its breath Two worlds collide in a storm of breath [Verse 2] He steps closer, every move a vow The wind conducts the tension here and now Her eyes widen, fear and duty collide Under warm lanterns, secrets can’t hide [Pre-Chorus] Rain drums the rhythm, the city slows its pace Time stretches thin in this narrow space [Chorus] In the glare of rain, fate walks through the door Cold as the thunder, he asks for something more Silence like velvet, the room holds its breath Two worlds collide in a storm of breath [Bridge] Lightning whispers, the street a silver line Buttons of fate fasten, crossing the line No one speaks, yet a question fills the air Who will break the night first, who will stay and care [Chorus] In the glare of rain, fate walks through the door Cold as the thunder, he asks for something more Silence like velvet, the room holds its breath Two worlds collide in a storm of breath [Outro] Rain slows to whispers, the door stays ajar The mafia’s shadow lingers, a contract of scars But in the steam and lantern glow, a choice will gleam A moment frozen, a dangerous dream
