Humanless Empire - The Brightest Day, the Darkest Night

Verse 1 The sun rose high, a golden light, the start of a perfect day, With a spring in his step, and a hopeful heart, he made his way. At work the news was waiting, a promotion long deserved, Cheers filled the office halls, his dreams no longer curved. Pre-Chorus He called his love with joy, "Tonight, we’ll celebrate," Little did he know, that fate had set a different date. Chorus Oh, the brightest day turned into the darkest night, When joy turned into sorrow, and laughter turned to fright. He held the world in his hands, but it slipped away from sight, The brightest day, the darkest night. Verse 2 At the casino, luck was kind, a fortune in his grasp, One hundred thousand dollars won, with just a single cast. He felt invincible, a king for just one night, He hit the town, bought drinks for all, under neon lights so bright. Pre-Chorus His phone rang once more, "I’m coming home, my dear," But the silence that awaited, was the sound he came to fear. Chorus Oh, the brightest day turned into the darkest night, When joy turned into sorrow, and laughter turned to fright. He held the world in his hands, but it slipped away from sight, The brightest day, the darkest night. Bridge The door creaked open slowly, the house was dark and still, His heart began to tremble, with a cold and creeping chill. On the floor, his love was lying, in a pool of crimson red, A vision of his nightmare, his beloved, cold and dead. Verse 3 The world crashed down around him, as he fell down to his knees, Screaming to the heavens, "God, why her and not me?" The joy he felt was shattered, by a cruel and heartless hand, A day that started perfect, was buried in the sand. Chorus Oh, the brightest day turned into the darkest night, When joy turned into sorrow, and laughter turned to fright. He held the world in his hands, but it slipped away from sight, The brightest day, the darkest night. Outro Now he walks alone in shadows, with memories so tight, Of a day that shone so brightly, but ended in the night. His heart forever haunted, by the love he lost in strife, The brightest day, the darkest night, the cruel twist of life. [END]
