Soft steps fall On shattered ground Whispers tremble Without a sound Smoke drifts slow Through stolen light Homes undone By endless night Empty shoes By broken stone Footprints fade Yet not alone Every breath Cuts through air Every glance A silent prayer The innocent Stand exposed Even as The darkness grows They bend, they break But shouldn’t bow Their fragile hope Deserves it now Casualties Falling in the storm Lives that never Should’ve changed their form [Sudden Break] Casualties Caught within the fire Every stolen dream Deserves its choir Cold steel skies Press them thin Yet the heartbeat Pulls within Shadows crawl At their feet Still they gather In the street Grief and grit Woven tight Flickers born From fading light Every cry A brand-new scar Every move A wish too far Casualties Strong and clear Echo out For all to hear They stand in shadows But shine as truth Every shattered future Steals a youth Casualties Falling in the storm Lives that never Should’ve changed their form [Sudden Break] Casualties Caught within the fire Every stolen dream Deserves its choir
