Fortress of lies

(Verse 1)
In the quiet whispers of the dusk,
Where the fireflies start their rust-colored dance,
Lay the ashes of a world that once knew us,
Three hearts beating as one, a perfect trance.
My uncle, my grandma, so dear,
Our cabin, the only place we'd cheer,
But now the boards of this old stage,
Echo with the ghosts of yesteryear.
(Chorus)
Memories, they come flooding in like a tide,
Our laughter lost in the winds of time,
The lake reflects a scene so serene,
Yet beneath, our hearts have grown unseen.
Money's lure, it changed the tide,
And we drowned in a river of lies,
Now I'm left with a heart so bruised and denied,
But in the embers of the past, I find:
(Verse 2)
In the silence, a letter, a plea,
Words of love, forever to be,
Its pages yellowed, but truth never tire,
Speaks of moments when we were all on fire.
The hand that wrote, now cold and still,
Guides me through the motions of this thrill,
To find the warmth in the chill,
And know that love's not a transient spire.
(Bridge)
The music stopped, the game was played,
But love's the one thing that will never fade,
Through the darkest of days,
Christ's sacrifice, our saving grace.
In the shadows, the corruption grew,
Tenuous threads of trust, they blew,
Yet in the ashes, a light shone through,
Redemption's flame, a beacon in the haze.
(Chorus)
Memories, they cut like a knife,
But in the silence, they're also life,
The cabin stands, though the years defile,
A symbol of our unbroken tie.
The inflection point of our despair,
Found in the love we once did share,
Now I'm standing, my eyes filled with tears,
As I realize, there's more than what's here.
(Verse 3)
The stars above, they wink and sigh,
At the tragic tale of our goodbye,
But in their light, a truth so stark,
We're not alone in the dark.
Ten days of darkness we'll face,
But the dawn is part of the race,
A sky event, a divine embrace,
The end of a painful, twisted maze.
(Bridge)
The district's in panic, the world's in pain,
But in the chaos, we find our refrain,
Suicide weekend, a game so cruel,
But we're the survivors, the fools who knew.
Checkmate, the king has fell,
Our hearts, they swell,
With the strength to break the spell,
And the wisdom to see it through.
(Chorus)
Memories, they're the anchor that binds,
To the joy and sorrow that life assigns,
In the cozy cabin, with the lake nearby,
We're not just three, but an eternal tie.
The music's gone, but the lyrics stay,
Guiding us through the twilight's sway,
Now I understand the price we pay,
For the memories that make us sway.
(Outro)
When the sky goes black and the world turns cold,
Our hearts will warm, our souls behold,
The cabin light, the love we've told,
A beacon in the dark, a story untold.
Zero Day approaches, the show goes on,
But we're the ones who've found the dawn,
Through the storm, we've grown so bold,
In the embrace of love that never has gone.
