Cycles of Suffering

[Verse 1] Dark clouds gather above the land, The wind whispers of battles, of our despair, Through blizzards and storms, we carry on, History’s tale weaves a wicked strand. [Chorus] An eternal cycle of suffering spins, Lives like stars in the night grow dim, The light of hope seems to fade away, In this world, we’re just shadows, diminishing. [Verse 2] Children gaze afar where dreams may lie, But the city murmurs, “Don’t dream and don’t sigh,” Cold stones of monuments hold their breath, Guarding the losses we all carry within. [Chorus] An eternal cycle of suffering spins, Hearts shattered like glass beneath our feet, Each day feels like a fresh wound to begin, In this world, we’re just shadows, lost and bittersweet. [Bridge] Souls scatter in the heavens above, Where do they lead, these terrors we love? Silence calls out with a haunting refrain, That endless cycle won’t let us remain. [Verse 3] Through time and through pain, inspiration brews, A flicker of light in the depths of our blues, Yet amidst the sorrow, the fears, and the tears, Memory’s ember leaves its mark through the years. [Chorus] An eternal cycle of suffering spins, Lives like stars in the night grow dim, The light of hope seems to fade away, In this world, we’re just shadows, vanishing. [Bridge] But in every heartbeat, a spark ignites, Through the tears and the cries, the earth unites: “We are not forgotten, we’re never alone, Cycles of suffering are not all that we own.”
