Shadows of the Forgotten Forest

[Verse] In the forest of old whispers Shadows turn and sigh Balalaika strings hum low Under a pale moon sky Footsteps of ghosts unsettled Trace the paths of yore Deep in the heart of mystery Where tales are spun in lore [Verse 2] Gusli notes like teardrops Sprinkle on the ground Through the fog of bygone days Echoes of a sound Accordion breathes sorrow Wrapped in memories lost Each note a haunting whisper In the cold night's frost [Chorus] Oh The tales the trees could tell Of forgotten love and broken spells Underneath the ancient boughs Where the past forever bows [Verse 3] Dreams are woven in the night By synth pads soft and deep Ambient drones like river's flow Through the land of sleep The accordion weeps a bittersweet A long-forgotten tune While shadows dance in silence To the balalaika's croon [Verse 4] Subtle drum machines echo Heartbeat of the earth In the village by the river Where silence knows its worth Moss-covered stones whisper Secrets of the brave Beneath the starry blanket Over the nameless grave [Bridge] Through the veil of time and space A whisper calls your name From the land of hushed regrets Where fire becomes flame Mystery and melancholy The twilight's gentle siege In the shadows of the forest Where memory finds its leash
