Shadows of the Pure

Verse 1 (Distorted guitar riffs, heavy and dark) Good intentions lead to empty hands While the wicked thrive, they take and stand We crawl through life, we bear the pain They laugh and dance in their golden rain Pre-Chorus (Syncopated rhythm, intense) Fighting through the mud, we’re sinking deep The honest hearts, they never sleep They steal our dreams, they steal our hope Leaving us with no way to cope Chorus (Explosive, powerful) Good hearts left in the dark While the evil leaves a mark Why do the wicked always win? While the pure ones wear thin? Verse 2 (Gritty, heavy) Every day’s a battle, lost in the storm While they bask in power, we conform Our light is fading, their shadows grow In this twisted world, the good don’t know Pre-Chorus (Syncopated rhythm, intense) Fighting through the mud, we’re sinking deep The honest hearts, they never sleep They steal our dreams, they steal our hope Leaving us with no way to cope Chorus (Explosive, powerful) Good hearts left in the dark While the evil leaves a mark Why do the wicked always win? While the pure ones wear thin? Bridge (Dissonant, chaotic) In the mirror, a reflection cracked The weight of the world, the sky is black Screaming out but no one hears Drowning in a sea of tears (Heavy, aggressive) Why do the good always bleed? Why do the vile succeed? We're caught in this twisted game Burning in their flames Solo (Guitar solo, raw and intense) Outro (Fading, haunting) Good hearts left in the dark While the evil leaves a mark Why do the wicked always win? While the pure ones wear thin? Good hearts left with nothing at all While the corrupt stand tall In this world so unfair Do the good even care?
