Shadows of the Night

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] In deeper waters, shadows cast, Ancient mariners, time outlast. Silent whispers in the ocean's roar, Currents shift, not as before. [Chorus] Where do we wander when maps fade? Shells hardened, yet inside afraid. Under a sun that forgets to glow, Drifting on tides that no longer flow. [Verse 2] Stars once guided their nightly quest, Now hidden, in the murky depths they rest. Sands that warmed their birth so mild, Turn cold, as dreams of the turtle child. [Chorus] Where do we wander when maps fade? Shells hardened, yet inside afraid. Under a sun that forgets to glow, Drifting on tides that no longer flow. [Bridge] In the silent ballet of the deep, They dance, but there’s no beat to keep. Moonlit paths, once clear and bright, Veiled in the ghostly twilight. [Verse 3] Ancient nests on shores of time, Empty echoes, a forgotten chime. The old world breathes a final sigh, As new shadows cross the sky. [Chorus] Where do we wander when maps fade? Shells hardened, yet inside afraid. Under a sun that forgets to glow, Drifting on tides that no longer flow. [Outro] So they swim in a sea of change, Home is distant, and stars feel strange. With hope as fragile as a shell, In deeper waters, where dreams may dwell.
