Rituals in the Shadows **Verse 1** In the quiet of the morn, where the shadows creep, I walk the line of sinners, where the secrets keep. With a heart like thunder, and a soul of stone, I cast my chains to the wind, and I wander alone. The ghosts of my past call with a haunting song, Every step on this dirt road feels so right and wrong. **Chorus** Oh, feel the fire, feel it rise, In the ashes of our darkest lies. We’ll dance with the lost, we’ll sing with the drums, In this ritual madness, we’ll become what we sum. Hear the chains rattle, hear the night cry, With every heartbeat, we’ll never die. **Verse 2** The moon hangs low, like a noose in the sky, Casting shadows on the dreams that refuse to fly. With a fiddle’s wail and a steel guitar’s plea, I’ll shed my skin, let the darkness set me free. In the echoes of the night, I can hear the call, The voices of the damned, whispering through the thrall. **Chorus** Oh, feel the fire, feel it rise, In the ashes of our darkest lies. We’ll dance with the lost, we’ll sing with the drums, In this ritual madness, we’ll become what we sum. Hear the chains rattle, hear the night cry, With every heartbeat, we’ll never die. **Bridge** Beneath the weight of sorrow, we find our grace, In the wreckage of the heart, we reclaim our place. So gather ‘round the flames, let the shadows sway, In this gothic revival, we’ll burn the night away. **Chorus** Oh, feel the fire, feel it rise, In the ashes of our darkest lies. We’ll dance with the lost, we’ll sing with the drums, In this ritual madness, we’ll become what we sum. Hear the chains rattle, hear the night cry, With every heartbeat, we’ll never die. **Outro** So light the torches, let the spirits roam, In the twilight’s embrace, they’re finally home. With a howl and a stomp, let the music play, In this ritual of shadows, we’ll find our way.
