[Instrumental Intro] (Heavy Nu Metal Guitar Riff mixed with Dark Cello) (Driving drum beat) [Verse 1: Male Vocals] (Nu Metal style, gritty, rhythmic, semi-rapped) Time stopped here many years ago In a dark place with trees standing in a row Where the wind whispers old lies in the cold And the light is a story that was never told No paths to follow, just branches and frost A labyrinth where all our senses are lost [Pre-Chorus] (Music builds up) [Male] We promised to hold on, never to part [Female] But destiny had a voracious heart [Chorus: Duet] (Explosion of sound, Heavy Guitars) (Male aggressive backing, Female soaring lead) We will return again to your side Breaking the silence where we hide And a shadow of clouds will pass by Covering the sun in the empty sky [Male shouts] As if it were me! [Female sings] Fading away... [Together] In that tangled ending, gone astray [Verse 2: Female Vocals] (Gothic style, slow, ethereal, only bass and strings) We are trapped here without a will In the eternity of standing still We are dust, we are gravity Walkers of a fading reality You look at the forest, no questions asked Just staring at the void where time has passed [Bridge] (Tempo speeds up, Aggressive Nu Metal breakdown) [Male Shouting] AND MEANWHILE, SHADOWS! [Female Wailing] Meanwhile, we are just shadows... [Male] Of a love that was art, now ruins and hollows! [Male] Carrying ghosts upon your shoulders! [Female High Note] What remains of us as the world gets older... [Together] Just shadows of light in a gray day! [Chorus: Duet] (Maximum Wall of Sound, Epic) We will return again to your side Even if the body has nowhere to hide And a shadow of clouds will pass by [Male shouts] As if it were me! [Female sings] Who helps you fly... [Together] In that tangled ending... [Outro] (Sudden stop of drums, only strings remain) [Female Whisper] Where everything finally is ending. [Male Whisper] Shadows. [End] Music and lyrics by No7D (c)
