Neon Chains (Slow, echoing vocals fade in over sparse, droning synths, like whispers from cracked alley walls) Intro Shadows creep where the old fires died, City walls rise, swallowing the sky. Humanity's scream, lost in the void, Now we kneel in the glow, forever destroyed. Verse 1 Born in the wreckage, where the rain never ends, Streets choked with ghosts of the war we couldn't win. Demons descended like storms from the rift, Tore down our towers, left us adrift. I clawed from the filth, through the barricades high, Traded my soul for a sliver of light. But the luxury's poison, it burns in my veins, Echoes of battles, now just chains. Pre-Chorus The night whispers secrets of what we once had, Freedom's a memory, twisted and mad. Walls of cold steel, they mock what we lost, Humanity's fall, at what cost? Chorus Neon chains, binding the broken and frail, In this endless dark, where the hopeless prevail. Demons laugh from their thrones in the core, We fight for the scraps, forevermore. Oh, the war's long gone, but the scars never fade, Trapped in the glow, in the cage that they made. Neon chains, pulling me under the tide, No escape from the void inside. Verse 2 Rifts tore the heavens, unleashed the horde, Armies of shadow, with blades like black swords. Cities crumbled under their unholy might, Heroes turned dust in the dead of the night. Now I wander these halls, gilded and grim, A puppet in silk, on the edge of the rim. Outer ruins call with their hunger and pain, But I'd rather the lie than the endless rain. Pre-Chorus The night whispers secrets of what we once had, Freedom's a memory, twisted and mad. Walls of cold steel, they mock what we lost, Humanity's fall, at what cost? Chorus Neon chains, binding the broken and frail, In this endless dark, where the hopeless prevail. Demons laugh from their thrones in the core, We fight for the scraps, forevermore. Oh, the war's long gone, but the scars never fade, Trapped in the glow, in the cage that they made. Neon chains, pulling me under the tide, No escape from the void inside. Bridge (Whispers build to a distorted wail) Remember the flames, the skies turning red, When hope was a weapon, now buried and dead. You stand in the ruins, chasing the spark, But the demons have won, left us lost in the dark. No rebellion rises, no dawn breaks the night, Just echoes of screams in the flickering light. I'd scream if I could, but the silence is king, In this grimdark tomb, where the fallen don't sing. Final Chorus Neon chains, binding the broken and frail, In this endless dark, where the hopeless prevail. Demons laugh from their thrones in the core, We fight for the scraps, forevermore. Oh, the war's long gone, but the scars never fade, Trapped in the glow, in the cage that they made. Neon chains, pulling me under the tide, No escape from the void... inside... Outro Shadows creep where the old fires died... City walls rise... swallowing the sky... ( Vocals fade to hollow echoes, dissolving into static hum)
