The One I Knew [SSC6, Ukraine]
Context: This is the epitaph to my love story that has lasted for the past 6 years Lyrics: by CyberForge27 ©2024 Genre: hip-hop, nu metal [Verse 1, hip-hop vocal] I found a love, a fire burning deep, In the words, the voices, where languages meet. Among strangers and syllables, there you stood, With a passion that I felt, that I understood. [Pre-Chorus, hip-hop vocal] In those early days, every glance was gold, Every touch, every word, so bold. Two weeks in, and there was nothing to fear, September’s warmth, with you so near. [Chorus, nu-metal vocal] But time, it turned, the world pulled you away, To another life, where I couldn’t stay. Nights so long, I’d ache and pray, That love wouldn’t fade, no matter the sway. [Verse 2, hip-hop vocal] We met on the soil where love had begun, Yet each meeting grew few as the years spun. The distance stretched, the silence grew, But our words stayed deep, our hearts stayed true. [Pre-Chorus, hip-hop vocal] We shared secrets, dreams, and fears, Through a screen and countless tears. In the grip of a world so torn, Our love tried to weather each storm. [Chorus, nu-metal vocal] But time, it turned, the world pulled you away, To another life, where I couldn’t stay. Nights so long, I’d ache and pray, That love wouldn’t fade, no matter the sway. [Verse 3, hip-hop vocal] Then came the wedding, a promise to bind, But shadows loomed, I lay, fevered, confined. War and chaos, grief so near, I held on tight, drowning in fear. [Pre-Chorus, hip-hop vocal] You found freedom in distant seas, I lost you to those roaming dreams. The ache in my heart, too much to bear, As love slipped through the weight of despair. [Bridge, nu-metal vocal] You returned, a stranger’s face in your eyes, The warmth replaced by bitter lies. You drifted, haunted by distant charms, I reached, but couldn’t hold you in my arms. [Chorus, nu-metal vocal] But time, it turned, the world pulled you away, To another life, where I couldn’t stay. Nights so long, I’d ache and pray, That love wouldn’t fade, no matter the sway. But time, it turned, the world pulled you away, To another life, where I couldn’t stay. Nights so long, I’d ache and pray, That love wouldn’t fade, no matter the sway. [Outro, whisper] The one I loved, she’s lost at sea, Leaving behind the ghost of me. What we once were is now no more, I close this book and shut the door.
