[Intro]
Cold rain drums on cracked windows, the city holds its breath
A sky of lead, unbroken gray, where questions live to death
[Verse 1]
What happened to the dawn that promised us a kinder flame?
We stack glass towers of truth that crumble, losing names
Vultures on thrones watch the streets with cold, unfeeling eyes
Ghosts in glassy corridors ask if anyone still cries
[Pre-Chorus]
We sift through ash for ember signs, for mercy in the air
A distant hymn of unity fades into despair
[Chorus]
Where is the light we used to know, where love once grew strong?
We search for sparks amid the fires and the hollow shows that prolong
Tell me, are we real beneath these screens of sorrow and doubt?
Are we more than echoes in a world that’s burning out?
[Verse 2]
Digital stones keep count of souls, a tally of the lost
The chorus of the city hums a verdict, counting cost
A dying sense of community threads through empty streets
We reach for hands we used to hold, for warmth we no longer keep
[Pre-Chorus]
If truth slips through our fingers, what remains to hold on to?
A memory or a promise we forgot to follow through
[Chorus]
Where is the light we used to know, where love once grew strong?
We search for sparks amid the fires and the hollow shows that prolong
Tell me, are we real beneath these screens of sorrow and doubt?
Are we more than echoes in a world that’s burning out?
[Bridge]
In the quiet, a single bird takes a breath and dares to sing
Perhaps resilience is a rumor, yet it still clings to everything
[Chorus]
Where is the light we used to know, where love once grew strong?
We search for sparks amid the fires and the hollow shows that prolong
Tell me, are we real beneath these screens of sorrow and doubt?
Are we more than echoes in a world that’s burning out?
[Outro]
If we close our eyes together, maybe warmth will find its way
If we hold onto each other, we can turn the night to day
