Despair

[Verse] Beneath the cloak of night's embrace, Where shadows dance in endless grace, A lone figure walks a path of woe, Through fields of sorrow, where tears flow. [Verse] In the halls of despair, where echoes dwell, The toll of hope's final knell, Each step heavier than the last, In this endless maze of the past. [Chorus] Oh, despair, thou relentless foe, Whose grip tightens with every blow, In the silence of the darkest night, Thy presence fills me with fright. [Verse 3] Memories like daggers pierce the heart, Tearing the soul, tearing apart, Dreams once cherished now lie in dust, In the ruins of faith, in the ashes of trust. [Verse 4] In the labyrinth of doubt, I roam, Seeking solace, seeking home, But every path leads to the same, A barren wasteland, devoid of flame. [Chorus] Oh, despair, thou relentless foe, Whose grip tightens with every blow, In the silence of the darkest night, Thy presence fills me with fright. [guitar solo] [keyboard solo] [guitar solo] [keyboard solo] [Chorus] Oh, despair, thou relentless foe, Whose grip tightens with every blow, In the silence of the darkest night, Thy presence fills me with fright. [Outro] Yet still, a glimmer in the gloom, A spark of hope amidst the tomb, For even in the depths of despair's embrace, There lies the promise of a brighter place.
