Echoes of the Metropolis / Version 2

[Short Synth Intro] [Verse 1] Neon veins cut through the endless night, A broken skyline drips electric light, Machines whisper secrets to the dark. [Verse 2] Rain falls like acid, burning dreams away, Holograms flicker where shadows play, Hope feels like a glitch in the code. [Chorus] Welcome to the Fallen Metropolis, Where souls are sold, and freedom's dismissed, In a city built to bleed the powerless. [Verse 3] Smoke rises high from the streets below, Underneath, the underworld starts to glow, A labyrinth of lives unseen. [Verse 4] Chased by drones through alleyways tight, Data streams trace your every flight, You're just a number in their game. [Chorus] Welcome to the Fallen Metropolis, Where souls are sold, and freedom's dismissed, In a city built to bleed the powerless. [Verse 5] The sky above is a mirrored void, Reflections of dreams they've destroyed, Wires hum with the sound of despair. [Verse 6] Synthetic faces, their smiles a lie, Corporations rule as the people die, The system’s chains are made of fear. [Synth Interlude] [Chorus] Welcome to the Fallen Metropolis, Where souls are sold, and freedom's dismissed, In a city built to bleed the powerless. [Verse 7] Cyber-rebels broadcast underground, Voices rising with a haunting sound, "We won't be silenced anymore." [Verse 8] A spark ignites in the cold steel gloom, Faint rebellion cracks the corporate tomb, The code of chaos starts to spread. [Chorus] Welcome to the Fallen Metropolis, Where souls are sold, and freedom's dismissed, In a city built to bleed the powerless. [Verse 9] Streetlights shatter under rising flames, The faceless start to reclaim their names, Revolution breathes in static tones. [Verse 10] The tower trembles, its power frail, The empire's grip begins to fail, Justice rises from the void. [Chorus] Welcome to the Fallen Metropolis, Where souls are sold, and freedom's dismissed, In a city built to bleed the powerless. [Verse 11] Now the neon dims, the skies turn clear, Freedom’s cost paid in blood and fear, The cycle begins again. [Verse 12] Yet in the shadows, the seeds remain, New rulers rise, new chains restrain, A ghost of the old world lingers on. [Synth Interlude] [Chorus] Welcome to the Fallen Metropolis, Where souls are sold, and freedom's dismissed, In a city built to bleed the powerless. [Outro] Neon fades, but the scars still glow, In the ruins of what we'll never know, The city sleeps, but never dies. [End] [Verse 12] Yet in the shadows, the seeds remain, New rulers rise, new chains restrain, A ghost of the old world lingers on. [Synth Interlude] [Chorus] Welcome to the Fallen Metropolis, Where souls are sold, and freedom's dismissed, In a city built to bleed the powerless. [Outro] Neon fades, but the scars still glow, In the ruins of what we'll never know, The city sleeps, but never dies. [End]
