Verse 1]A shadow approaches, a deceptive disguiseObscuring the truth and the light in the eyesA choice in the darkness, a weight in the handThe start of a journey through shifting sandThe grip is relentless, the cost is unknownAs seeds of a bitter tomorrow are sown[Chorus]A fleeting deception, then everything fadesLost in the silence of deep, hollow shadesThe path that was chosen begins to descendWhere every road leads to a bitter endThe bond is a burden, the promise a lieAs the colors of life start to wither and die[Verse 2]It starts in a home full of laughter and lightBefore the soft shadows consume all the nightA good life was built with a family so dearBut the weight of the struggle brings nothing but fearThe structure is breaking, the foundation is goneAs the darkness remains while the world moves on[Bridge]The parents are weeping, the memories tearA family is shattered in silent despairA wife sits in sorrow, the house is so bareBecause nothing is left but the empty nightmare[Outro]The loss is a circle that takes everythingThe grief and the sorrow that choices can bringThe parents, the family, the life that was knownLeft in the wake of the path that was shown.
