(Verse 1) A flicker of torchlight, a fragile, fading gleam, The last echo answers, a lost and hollow scream. The air hangs heavy, damp and cold and still, A labyrinth of shadows, my heart begins to chill. I followed the passage, a twist and turning way, Now every path looks the same, lost in the gray. (Chorus) Stone walls surround me, a silent, crushing weight, Each step I take just seals a darker fate. I wander deeper, into the earth's embrace, A prisoner of darkness, in this forgotten place. No sun, no moon, no guiding star for light, Just endless tunnels, and a fading hope of right. (Verse 2) The water drips slowly, a constant, chilling sound, Each drop a reminder, of time that can't be found. I trace the cold stone, with trembling fingertips, Searching for a marker, a sign that gently slips From memory's grasp, a path I can't recall, Lost in this maze of rock, destined to fall. (Bridge) My voice is hoarse, from shouting in the void, No answer comes, no solace is enjoyed. The torch is dying, the shadows grow so deep, A chilling premonition, secrets the cavern keeps. Is this to be my tomb, beneath the earth's embrace? Lost forever here, without a trace? (Verse 3) I stumble onward, with weary, aching feet, The darkness closes in, a cold and bitter sheet. The hope that flickered, now fades to embers low, A silent acceptance, of where I'm destined to go. The world above, a distant memory now, Lost in the darkness, I don't know how (Chorus) Stone walls surround me, a silent, crushing weight, Each step I take just seals a darker fate. I wander deeper, into the earth's embrace, A prisoner of darkness, in this forgotten place. No sun, no moon, no guiding star for light, Just endless tunnels, and a fading hope of right. (Outro) Fading hope of a future… fading hope of light… lost in the darkness… of endless night. Lost in the darkness… forever lost… no matter the cost. Yet one day I will see the light. His shining city oh so bright. A beacon of hope to this weary soul, Without grace I would have to pay this toll.
