Shadows of the past

Intro : Vocalization. Quiet, growing in strength and height. Example: aaaa-oooo-eeee-aaaaa... with a gradual crescendo and a transition to more raucous, emotional vocals] [Verse 1] Dust of roads, broken dreams, There are only ashes and crosses behind my back. Every step is like an echo of the old years, There is pain in my heart, but there is still no way out. My shadow, like a faithful companion, is near, Only she will understand me, as a reward. For sins, for truth, for love, That she was burned in the flames of the bonfires. [Verse 2] The wind howls a song about the past, About the years that we will go through. But there's only cold and longing in his eyes., And do not warm the breath of the campfire. I remember laughter, hugs, soft whispers, Everything was gone, leaving only a murmur. Fate is an executioner, ruthless and strict, She left only scars on the road. [Instrumental interlude] [Chorus] The shadows of the past dance around me, They whisper names that I shouldn't have loved in vain. Moans of pain, screams into the void, I lost the war in this battle. The shadows of the past are my eternal cross, The ray of hope in the darkness disappeared. And only an echo, an echo of the old days, Haunting, never leaving, by my God! [Verse 3] The city sleeps, covered with a veil, And I'm alone, with a wounded soul. I see a reflection in every window., Past years, only a moment of happiness. I'm looking for an answer, but all I hear is silence., And in this quiet, eternal waiting, Life goes away like sand through your fingers, Leaving only shadows – sufferers. [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 4] Maybe someday far away, The mists will dissipate, and mine… And the shadows of the past will recede into the shadows., And the long-awaited day will come. But now it's just pain and emptiness., And the eternal struggle for the right to live, for… [Chorus] The shadows of the past dance around me, They whisper names that I shouldn't have loved in vain. Moans of pain, screams into the void, I lost the war in this battle. The shadows of the past are my eternal cross, The ray of hope in the darkness disappeared. And only an echo, an echo of the old days, Haunting, never leaving, by my God! [Instrumental interlude] [Bridge Vocalization. More powerful and emotional, with a tear in his voice. Example: AAAAAAAAAAA! OOOOOOOOOOO! EEEEEEEEEEEE! with a crescendo and a diminuendo. Splitting and growling techniques are used] [Outro] Shadows... shadows... shadows of the past… [Violin solo] [Fade to silence]
