07. Shadows I Carry—

🎙️ Prolog [spoken word] "Simon lehnte sich vor. 'Was genau hast du gefunden?' Maya zog langsam ein gefaltetes, zerknittertes Blatt aus ihrer Jackentasche. Sie entfaltete es knisternd auf den Tisch und strich mit ihren Händen fast zärtlich über das kühle Kunststoffpapier, glättete es, so gut es ging." Verse 1 There’s a tremor in the orbit of my name, A silent fault line I could never tame. The past is pulling like a dying star, A gravity that’s reaching from afar. Pre‑Chorus But I won’t fall into the dark again, I feel the pressure rising under my skin. Chorus Shadows I carry — burning in the sky, circling like comets that refuse to die. Shadows I carry — written in my bones, Echoes of a war I never chose. Verse 2 A fractured memory carved in steel, A wound the future’s trying to conceal. But every scar becomes a guiding flame, A constellation spelling out my name. Pre‑Chorus I hear the truth in the electric air, A rising hum that tells me to beware. Chorus Shadows I carry — burning in the sky, Circling like comets that refuse to die. Shadows I carry — written in my bones, Echoes of a war I never chose. Bridge (dramatic, cosmic) Lift me through the atmosphere, tear the veil and make it clear. If I’m the sum of what I’ve lost, then let me rise above the cost. (→ Hier kommt der große Muse‑Moment: Bass‑Fuzz + Arpeggio‑Synth + dramatische Vocals.) Final Chorus Shadows I carry — burning in the sky, Circling like comets that refuse to die. Shadows I carry — written in my bones, But now I stand — and I’m not alone.
