Soul's Lament

[instrumental intro] Verse 1: In the labyrinth of cities, hearts calcify to stone, We idolize the transient, yet dwell in the unknown. Principles forsaken, truths obscured and sold, Ignoring whispers of wisdom, our spirits grow cold. Chorus: Lost in our own shadows, we shun the guiding light, Forsaking the eternal, we drift into the night. [short instrumental solo] Verse 2: Constructing fragile empires, worshipping the self, In a realm devoid of conscience, we gather dust and wealth. With mercy now a relic, compassion cast aside, Echoes of our vanity where inner truths reside. Chorus: Lost in our own shadows, we shun the guiding light, Forsaking the eternal, we drift into the night. Bridge: In silence lies a whisper, a chance to alter fate, A call for introspection, before it is too late. Amidst the weight of sorrow, the dawn begins to break, If courage finds its vessel, a higher path we'll take. [instrumental breakdown] to [instrumental break] Chorus: Lost in our own shadows, we shun the guiding light, Forsaking the eternal, we drift into the night. [instrumental breakdown] Chorus: Lost in our own shadows, we shun the guiding light, Forsaking the eternal, we drift into the night. Yet amidst the darkness, a glimmer may ignite, If we heed the call of conscience, we may find our flight. [instrumental] [outro] Chorus: Lost in our own shadows, we shun the guiding light, Forsaking the eternal, we drift into the night. Yet amidst the darkness, a glimmer may ignite, If we heed the call of conscience, we may find our flight. [instrumental] [outro]
