Shadows of Chris

[Start] [Short Instrumental Drum Intro] [Choir & Choral] Chris - Oh - Chris - Hey, Chris - Oh - Chris - Hey, Chris - Oh - Chris - Hey, Christopher... [Orchestral Crescendo] . [Choir & Choral] (oohh),((aahh)) [Main Distorted Guitar Riff] [Drum Breakdown] [Main Guitar Riff] [Verse 1] n the daylight, he’s Chris, a smile masking pain, Greeting cards and family ties, a life routine and plain, But beneath the surface, shadows whisper soft, A youth of faded glory, a dream forever lost. [VERY BRIEF DRUM INTERLUDE] Chorus: Who is this man we know as Chris? A mystery veiled in twilight’s kiss, His laughter hides a darkness deep, In shadows where his secrets sleep. Is he lost in dreams or tangled schemes, A life of light or twisted themes? Beneath the mask, what truths persist? In the shadows lies the tale of Chris. [VERY INTENSE BRIEF Instrumental BUILD] [Choral & Choir] Chris - Oh - Chris - Hey, Christopher... Verse 2: He was once a rising star, on courts of green and clay, A scholar in a distant land, with dreams that led astray, Now he’s wrapped in sarcasm, a cloak of silent woe, A man of many faces, where does his spirit go? [Pre-Chorus] Is he the silent watcher, or a puppet on a string? A man of simple pleasures, or a pawn in darker things? Questions swirl around him, like a storm beneath his skin, In the shadows, there’s a puzzle, where the darkness deepens thin. [Chorus] Who is this man we know as Chris? ((CHRIS)) A mystery veiled in twilight’s kiss, His laughter hides a darkness deep, In shadows where his secrets sleep. Is he lost in dreams or tangled schemes, A life of light or twisted themes? Beneath the mask, what truths persist? In the shadows lies the tale of Chris. ((CHRIS)) [Instrumental With Choir & Choral] [Drum Breakdown] [Drum Solo] Bridge: Does he wander through the night, in worlds of whispered sin? Or is he just a dreamer, longing for the life within? His family feels the distance, though he’s standing by their side, In his eyes, a distant sorrow, a truth he cannot hide. Chorus (With Choir): Who is this man we know as Chris? A mystery veiled in twilight’s kiss, His laughter hides a darkness deep, In shadows where his secrets sleep. Is he lost in dreams or tangled schemes, A life of light or twisted themes? Beneath the mask, what truths persist? In the shadows lies the tale of Chris. Outro (Choir): Chris - Oh - Chris - Hey, Chris - Oh - Chris - Hey, Chris - Oh - Chris - Hey, Christopher... So we watch and we wonder, as the story twists and turns, In the shadows of his journey, where his spirit aches and yearns, Is he seeking out the darkness, or running from the light? In the enigma known as Chris, where day blends into night. [End] [VERY INTENSE Instrumental BUILD] [VERY INTENSE drum SOLO] [VERY INTENSE DISTORTED GUITAR AND SYNTHEZISER OUTRO]
