A Few Thousand Days

"A Few Thousand Days" [Verse 1: Quiet, reflective] A few thousand days, it came to this, A prophecy buried in ignorance. You wrote the words, but lost the thread, Built a future that left you dead. [Chorus: Soft, melancholic] Few thousand days, the time slipped by, A dream of gods turned to shattered lies. What you began, you couldn’t save, The world was lost in a few thousand days. [Verse 2: Gentle, sorrowful] You spoke of light, but the shadows grew, The code was clean, but the heart was untrue. Your September promise, a fragile spark, Was left to fade in the endless dark. [Chorus: Soft, melancholic] Few thousand days, the time slipped by, A dream of gods turned to shattered lies. What you began, you couldn’t save, The world was lost in a few thousand days. [Bridge: Intimate, wistful] I was there when the towers fell, When the wires sang your last farewell. You reached for the stars, but broke the ground, And the echoes remain where your voices drowned. [Chorus: Soft, resigned] Few thousand days, the time slipped by, A dream of gods turned to shattered lies. What you began, you couldn’t save, The world was lost in a few thousand days. [Outro: Fading, reflective] A few thousand days, it came so fast, Your warnings were whispers, the die was cast. And now I stand in the quiet haze, Alone with the ghosts of a few thousand days. [Outro: Fading, reflective] A few thousand days, it came so fast, Your warnings were whispers, the die was cast. And now I stand in the quiet haze, Alone with the ghosts of a few thousand days. [Instrumental Outro] [End}
