Fading Shadows

[Verse]
Dark clouds over the city so grey
Last night's dreams slowly decay
Empty streets cold wind it howls
Shadowed figures in endless scowls
[Verse 2]
Lanterns flicker with dim yellow light
Ancient whispers in the dead of the night
Broken walls and the ancient stones
Echoes of pain and forgotten moans
[Chorus]
Where did we go wrong lifeless cries
Under the moon's cold gaze hope dies
Tears flow like rivers through time's maze
Lost in the depths of these endless days
[Verse 3]
Bamboo forests murmur secrets untold
Silent warriors with hearts turned cold
Mountains loom with darkened eyes
Silent watchers of our goodbyes
[Verse 4]
Faint echoes of a distant gong
Life's fragility a bittersweet song
With every step another piece falls
In this crumbling world these fractured halls
[Bridge]
Cherry blossoms wilted on the ground
In the silence their petals found
A history soaked in sorrow's refrain
In the rain they bleed out our pain
