[Verse] Shadows on the ceiling move like restless tides A marionette’s reflection where the truth resides Whispers crawl through keyholes Do they ever lie? [Chorus] Spectral Authority – do you see who pulls the strings? Spectral Authority – or just the comfort that it brings? Spectral Authority – the weight of unseen kings [Verse 2] Echoes of the future They linger in the hall Every step feels chosen Like you’ve made none at all A hand unseen A silent call Is it yours Or is it all? [Prechorus] And the clock it spins But the hour never wins [Chorus] Spectral Authority – do you see who pulls the strings? Spectral Authority – or just the comfort that it brings? Spectral Authority – the chains that softly sing [Bridge (spoken)] “They say you’re free But who counts your steps? Who decides the rhythm?”
