[Intro progressive] [Verse] We are born and we die where the red moon’s shadow lies, Surrounded by ghosts who despise the world’s cries. Here mercy is absent, though your tears start to fall, For those who bring pain find no shelter at all. [Pre-Chorus] Your illusion is fraying, you fade from the sight, To the cradle where slumber both shadow and light. Not a soul among them will ever be known, For the answers we gather are carved out in stone. The world starts to blur as your vision slips by, Under the gaze of a darkening sky. [Chorus] Countless souls are longing to find their way back home, How many thousands pray ‘neath the night’s hollow dome? But we’ll never shatter the shell of your mind, It’s a fragile deception, a dream left behind. You bow down in silence, a prayer on your breath, Drifting away through the gardens of death. [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] The light begins to fade as it slips far away, Illuminating tears that on your pale cheeks stray. Though such dim shadows were never meant to gleam, In sleepless nights, they burn brighter than a dream. [Chorus] Countless souls are longing to find their way back home, How many thousands pray beneath the night's dark dome? Our voices are but ghosts that dissolve in the vast air, Too weak for the heavens to notice our despair. We weep until the dawn brings a hollow, empty deep, And when the morning breaks, we’ve forgotten how to sleep. [Chorus / Outro] Countless souls are longing to find their way back home, Indifferent to the morrow, through the ruins they roam. For those of us still breathing, does this pulse have a meaning? I finally grasp the truth that you were always screening. Yet, to this cursed threshold, we are tethered evermore, Bound eternally to the dawn upon the Red Moon shore. [Solo guitar]
