Shadows of the Soul

(Electric guitar intro)

[Verse 1]
Loneliness embraces me in this cold place,
My broken dreams lie, I cannot reach their space.
Reality strikes, cruel and without pity's grace,
A deep sadness floods my very trace.

[Verse 2]
Anger consumes me, a fire without control,
Fury in my entrails tears apart my soul.
Abandonment is an echo in the endless night,
My own demons dance within my inner light.

[Pre-Chorus]
To live or to die? The question deep inside,
One foot in the cemetery, the other without pride.
Does heaven await or will burning hell arise?
A shadow of doubt clouds my very skies.

[Chorus]
But amidst the sorrow, a fleeting glimmer I seek,
A splinter of joy that allows my spirit to speak.
Perhaps in the sunrise, a new color I'll find,
Though the twilight pulls me to my inner mind.

[Verse 3]
The sunset paints the sky with a red despair,
Remembering the phantoms I cannot un-snare.
The shadow of abandonment whispers once again,
And the inner struggle starts without end.

(Electric and acoustic guitars)

[Bridge]
My dreams are ashes, reality a shattered pane,
Sadness is my cloak, and fury my loyal reign.
But even in this abyss, a flicker still resides,
The stubbornness to live, though my weary soul hides.

[Chorus]
But amidst the sorrow, a fleeting glimmer I seek,
A splinter of joy that allows my spirit to speak.
Perhaps in the sunrise, a new color I'll find,
Though the twilight pulls me to my inner mind.

[Outro]
Between heaven and hell, my soul does yearn to roam,
Searching in each sunset for a new coming home.
Perhaps joy will conquer the shadowy solitude's sting,
And the demons will flee from this dark joy's wing.
