[Verse 1] Thou shalt not speak. Thou shalt not run. Cold moon hanging Over everyone. Street lamps sway slow, White faces glow. Nobody sleeps When the black winds blow. Ashes in the churchyard, Smoke beneath the rain. Every whispered secret Still calling your name. [Pre-Chorus] Low voices crawl through hollow halls Somebody’s waiting behind these walls [Chorus] Run, little shadow! (Thou shalt not fade) Down through the river! (Thou shalt not drown) Stay with the silence! (Thou shalt not break) Night walks beside you! (When the lights go down) [Verse 2] Blue velvet sky, Telephone wire. Old ghosts laughing Through the static choir. Black coats drifting Past the arcade glow. Young hearts burning Where the lost kids go. Silver-eyed strangers Move without sound. Everybody searching For something never found. [Pre-Chorus] Cold hands pressed against the glass Trying to make the feeling last [Chorus] Run, little shadow! (Thou shalt not fade) Down through the river! (Thou shalt not drown) Stay with the silence! (Thou shalt not break) Night walks beside you! (When the lights go down) [Break] Distorted bass pulse with whispered vocal echoes and glitch percussion [Solo] Haunting synth lead over driving drums and dark atmospheric guitar [Verse 3] Cathedral skyline, Burning gold red. Dreamers wandering Half alive, half dead. No heaven waiting, No kingdom come. Just the sound of tires And the beat of the drum. Smoke curls upward From the factory line. Everybody reaching For a different kind of time. [Pre-Chorus] No saints left to lead us home So we learn to walk alone [Final Chorus] Run, little shadow! (Thou shalt not fade) Down through the river! (Thou shalt not drown) Stay with the silence! (Thou shalt not break) Night walks beside you! (When the lights go down) Run, little shadow! (Thou shalt not fade) Out past the city! (Thou shalt not bow) Hold to the dark now! (Thou shalt not fear) Live in the wake of now! [Outro] Thou shalt not fear. Thou shalt not hide. Black sky rising At your side.
