City Lament

[Verse]
The streets they sigh a hollow tune
A shadow falls beneath the moon
Cobblestones echo hearts undone

[Chorus]
City weeps
Its tears unseen
Through alleys dark
Where ghosts convene
Oh city
Oh city
Where have you been

[Verse 2]
Lanterns flicker
Secrets fade
Dreams dissolve in night's cascade
A life once bright now masquerade

[Bridge]
Viola moans in the evening's chill
A melody lost
Yet lingers still
Whispers of sorrow
Soft and shrill

[Chorus]
City weeps
Its tears unseen
Through alleys dark
Where ghosts convene
Oh city
Oh city
Where have you been

[Outro]
Dawn arrives
But silence stays
The city mourns in muted grays
Its song persists
Through endless days
