Veil of Shadows

[Acoustic Guitar] [Verse 1] "Windows to the world, tinted with gray," "Seeing the shadows that lead us astray." "Each face a story of silent screams," "Lost hopes drifting in broken dreams." [Electric Piano] [Verse 2] "Streets echo the rhythms of selfish strides," "Greed’s whisper in every transaction it hides." "Where has the kindness once freely given gone?" "Replaced by the desire to own and con." [Drums] [Verse 3] "Eyes wide open yet so blind," "To the crumbling edges of mankind." "Anger fuels the fire’s roar," "Humanity’s heart growing sore." [Bass Guitar] [Verse 4] "Through the veil, I seek a crack of light," "A faint hope in this endless night." "Is there purity left to find," "Or has it escaped the collective mind?" [Full Band] [Verse 5] "Chasing shadows, not substance," "In a world void of any semblance." "Of empathy, of connection true," "Just reflections of a somber hue." [Keyboard] [Verse 6] "Witness to the depths we’ve sunk," "In this ship of dreams, now just a trunk." "Of memories of better days," "Now just a maze of selfish ways." [Synthesizer] [Verse 7] "Can we rise from the depths of despair?" "Is there a chance for fresh air?" "Or are we doomed to breathe the smoke," "Of a world burning, life’s cruel joke?" [Organ] [Verse 8] "Yet I strive, I seek, I yearn," "For a tide of change, for a twist and turn." "In the narrative we’ve written in haste," "Hoping not all is laid to waste." [Full Band, Fade Out] [End]
