Shadows of 1933

[Intro:] Echoes down the cobblestone, a chill in the Berlin air, Whispers of a change that soon would cast a shadow everywhere. [Verse 1:] In the heart of '33, a darkness rose from within, A sinister silhouette that spread like sin. Voices silenced under power's tight embrace, The echo of boots marching, freedom's fall from grace. [Pre-Chorus:] Old flags fall, new banners rise, A nation's soul, under disguise. [Chorus:] Shadows of 1933, haunting the streets of memory, Voices lost, but not the plea, Oh, how could we let this be? Shadows that grew with each decree, In the shadows of 1933. [Verse 2:] Rallies ignite the night with a fervent, fiery glow, A leader’s words, venomous, a deadly undertow. Fear cloaked in promises, a crowd hypnotized, Rights and truths crumbled where the ashes lie. [Pre-Chorus:] Whispers turn to cries, as fires burn the old ways, A new order's dawn, in the haze. [Chorus:] Shadows of 1933, haunting the streets of memory, Voices lost, but not the plea, Oh, how could we let this be? Shadows that grew with each decree, In the shadows of 1933. [Bridge:] In the pages of history, a lesson hard and true, The rise of dark forces, through a view so skewed. A world watching, yet somehow blind, To the creeping darkness that came up from behind. [Outro:] Shadows of 1933, haunting the streets of memory, Voices lost, but not the plea, Oh, how could we let this be? Shadows that grew with each decree, In the shadows of 1933.
