The Last Light of Hope Fades (Vicious cover)

Verse I I walk the field where autumn died, Leaves crushed beneath a grief-soaked sky. Your voice once lived in the trembling wind— Now it’s nothing but a fading cry. The old oak bends where you carved our names, Half-erased by rain and passing years. I trace the scars with trembling hands, The wood remembers what I fear. Chorus The last light of hope fades, Dimming like embers drowned in cold. I search the dusk for something living, But everything turns hollow, old. And though I call into the silence, No echo answers back to me. Verse II Your lantern lies shattered by the riverbank, Its rusted frame a monument to loss. I gather its pieces with shaking breath, Knowing the warmth inside is gone. The water carries reflections wrong, Distorted ghosts of what we were. I kneel as the current pulls them apart, Letting sorrow blur and blur. Chorus The last light of hope fades, Drowned in the flood of memory. A world once blooming now collapsing Under the weight of what can’t be. And though I reach through frozen shadows, Nothing living waits for me. Bridge (Whispered / Folk Drones) “I lit a candle for your return, But the flame bowed to the storm. Now even the smoke is gone.” Final Verse In the final hour before the dawn, I watch the sky refuse to glow. The dark remains, unbreaking, still— A kingdom built of fallen snow. Yet in my chest, a quiet ache Beats once, then once again— A fragile truth the void can’t steal: Grief still means you lived within. Final Chorus The last light of hope fades… But it’s not swallowed—only worn. A faint, cold glimmer buried deep, A seed beneath a dying storm. And though the world forgets your name, I’ll carry it, untouched by time— A single spark in endless night, A lost light that’s still half-mine.
