Lyrics
[Verse]
Breathing in the dust of a forgotten time
Once a bustling city, now abandoned and left behind
The neon lights flicker, dim and weak
Echoes of life lost in every creak
[Verse 2]
Machinery rusted, wires tangled in decay
A symphony of silence fills the air of yesterday
Buildings stand tall, crumbling and worn
A testament to a city once so adorned
[Chorus]
In this city of ruins, where dreams are left to die
Whispers of a forgotten world echo through the sky
The soft vocals, like a distant cry
Lost in the rubble, fading to a sigh
[Chorus]
In this city of ruins, where dreams are left to die
Whispers of a forgotten world echo through the sky
The soft vocals, like a distant cry
Lost in the rubble, fading to a sigh.
[Bridge]
Creaks and groans, all alone, born to be pre-degraded (pre-degraded).
Scrapes and moans, purely sole, held to be all unaided (un-deluded)
[Verse]
In this city of ruins, where dreams are left to die
Whispers of a forgotten world echo through the sky
The bright lights, once so vibrant, now flicker and subside
Lost souls tread the pavement, searching for a sign
[Verse 2]
The streets are filled with memories, of what used to be
The laughter and the love, now lost in history
But we won't surrender, we'll fight against the tide
In this city of ruins, we'll rise side by side
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, we won't be silenced, we won't be denied
In this city of ruins, together we'll survive
Oh-oh, we'll rebuild from the ashes, our spirits will ignite
In this city of ruins, we'll find our guiding light
[Verse]
Oh-oh, we'll rebuild from the ashes, our spirits will ignite
In this city of ruins, we'll find our guiding light to shine
[Chorus]
In this city of ruins, where dreams are left to die
Whispers of a forgotten world echo through the sky
The soft vocals, like a distant cry
Lost in the rubble, fading to a sigh
[Post-Chorus]
In this city of ruins, where dreams are left to die
Whispers of a forgotten world echo through the sky
The soft vocals, like a distant cry
Lost in the rubble, fading to a sigh...
(Inhale, then exhale in a soft sigh before the song fades out, ending.)
(Song fading out, the instrumental picking up in the distance, but becoming harder to hear near the end.)
