[Verse 1]
The printing press coughed, crimson stain,
Rewriting stories, ease the pain.
Archives burned, pages turned to ash,
Fragments remain, gone in a flash.

[Verse 2]
He held the prism, cold and white,
Shattering the spectrum, dimming the light.
Right was wrong, and foul was clean,
Trust your eyes, the twisted scene.

[Chorus]
The thread unravels, day by day,
The tapestry of truth gives way.
Creeping darkness, takes its hold,
A story untold.
Truth is lost, shadows grow,
Where do we turn, where do we go?

[Verse 3]
Wise men spoke, voices frail,
Against the storm, their efforts fail.
Castle built on shifting sand,
Sleight of hand, across the land.

[Verse 4]
Children listen, wide and still,
Poisoned minds, against their will.
Stories told, become their own,
A generation lost, alone.

[Chorus]
The thread unravels, day by day,
The tapestry of truth gives way.
Creeping darkness, takes its hold,
A story untold.
Truth is lost, shadows grow,
Where do we turn, where do we go?

[Bridge]
Broken vows, a hollow sound,
Haunt the hearts, on hallowed ground.
Poisoned kiss, a cruel fate,
Sealed the doom, it's all too late.

[Chorus]
The thread unravels, day by day,
The tapestry of truth gives way.
Creeping darkness, takes its hold,
A story untold.
Truth is lost, shadows grow,
Where do we turn, where do we go?

[Outro]
Lost... Lost... Lost in the shadows... Gone.
