[Intro: Aggressive, distorted solo cello riff building up] [Heavy drums enter] [Verse 1] Shadows creeping through the stone Walking down this road alone Every step a heavy weight Pushing past the iron gate Dust is rising from the ground Listen to the heavy sound [Pre-Chorus] The strings are screaming, tearing the night I’m breaking the silence, I'm ready to fight! [Chorus] This is the shattered way! Carving my fate in the clay No turning back, I won't decay I'll find my light in the gray Walking the shattered way! [Instrumental Break: Frantic, heavy cello metal riff] [Verse 2] Thorns and briars catch my skin But the fire burns within Echoes of a distant drum Telling me what I'll become Shatter walls of glass and bone Claiming what I've always known [Pre-Chorus] The strings are screaming, tearing the night I’m breaking the silence, I'm ready to fight! [Chorus] This is the shattered way! Carving my fate in the clay No turning back, I won't decay I'll find my light in the gray Walking the shattered way! [Bridge] Falling down, I'm rising up! Drinking from the bitter cup! The melody of breaking chains Is running heavy through my veins! [Guitar and Cello Duet Solo: Epic, fast-paced, dramatic] [Chorus] This is the shattered way! Carving my fate in the clay No turning back, I won't decay I'll find my light in the gray Walking the shattered way! [Outro] The shattered way! Keep pushing through! [Heavy cello and drums abruptly stop] [Fading classical cello single note] [End]
