Council's Folly

[Instrumental]

(Verse 1) In the shadow of the twilight, where the lost souls roam, Battle-torn fields covered in blood, they’re calling me home. My heart wears the colors of the scars we bear, As memories drift like whispers, floating through the air. (Chorus) Oh, can you hear our story in the echoes of the night? We were brothers in the fire, now we’re fighting for the light. Though the ground is stained forever, and the tears will never dry, We mourn the one who’s vanished, but in spirit, he will fly. (Verse 2) We shared dreams in the laughter, found solace in the pain, Through the silence of the battle, we were dancing in the rain. But the storm grew ever darker, and fate took him away, Now we’re left with the shadows, where his spirit used to play. (Chorus) Oh, can you hear our story in the echoes of the night? We were brothers in the fire, now we’re fighting for the light. Though the ground is stained forever, and the tears will never dry, We mourn the one who’s vanished, but in spirit, he will fly. (Bridge) We gather at the dawn, beneath the breaking sky, Whispers of his laughter still linger as we cry. With every dawn we rise, we carry him inside, Though the journey feels so heavy, love will be our guide. (Chorus) Oh, can you hear our story in the echoes of the night? We were brothers in the fire, now we’re fighting for the light. Though the ground is stained forever, and the tears will never dry, We mourn the one who’s vanished, but in spirit, he will fly. (Outro) So here’s to the lost soldiers, to the friends we hold dear, In the silence of these fields, we’ll keep you ever near. As we walk this heavy road, through shadows and the sun, We’ll tell the tale of love that can’t be undone.

[Verse] In the shadows he stands tall Beginning and the end of all Whispered tales in empty halls His name echoes when you call [Verse 2] He's got the fire of the first spark Guiding light when it's all dark From the start to the last mark Boundless seas his lone ark [Chorus] Vergil cries in the midnight rain Alpha's joy and Omega's pain Walk this path There's no refrain In your heart he will remain [Verse 3] Legends carved in ancient stone He's the ruler of the unknown Lost and found in a twilight zone A king without a throne [Verse 4] In the silence He finds peace From the loud to the deceased Time's a circle Never cease Laws of nature he will breach [Chorus] Vergil cries in the midnight rain Alpha's joy and Omega's pain Walk this path There's no refrain In your heart he will remain

[Verse] Rage in his eyes fightin' the skies Broken planet son Warrior's blood fury floods Power can't be outdone [Verse 2] Training ground battleground Stronger every tear Prince he stands with clenched hands Facing all his fears [Chorus] Prince of Saiyans fightin' for pride Royal blood never hides Galaxies shake destiny awake Vegeta stands no mistake [Verse 3] Evil past shadows cast Glory's price he pays Every punch aiming higher Through the endless blaze [Verse 4] Lost his home heart of stone Yet he won't back down Strength within burnin' sin Prince without a crown [Chorus] Prince of Saiyans fightin' for pride Royal blood never hides Galaxies shake destiny awake Vegeta stands no mistake

[Verse] Lightning crashes high Echoes through the sky Gods above They cry Warriors never die [Verse 2] Chains are breaking free Chaos for all to see Legacy of fury Written in destiny [Chorus] Feel the thunder roar God of War No more Ragnarok The end Fate we can't suspend [Verse 3] Mountains split in two Chaos coming through Heroes' final stand In death We command [Bridge] Ancient prophecies Blood-stained legacies Breach eternity In violent harmony [Verse 4] Odin's fall from grace Tears streak down his face Worlds collide in rage Scenes upon a stage

[Verse] You and me we used to be like a dream Now I'm left alone scream and unseen Pictures fading out it don't feel right You hit delete and disappeared into the night [Verse 2] Stories untold who knows where they go Scrolling through the memories fast or slow A simple click and you're gone from my feed Wondering what else you thought you need [Chorus] Why did you unfriend me ghost my days Was it something that I did or my funny ways Are we just another lost digital fight You left me questioning every night [Verse 3] No more likes or laughs in our chat Your name is now a mystery that came and sat Seen you in a post with someone new Is this just the end for us two [Bridge] Shadows linger from a bond once tight Living in a world of pixels and light Every ping makes my heart sink in blue Did you forget me or is this just you [Chorus] Why did you unfriend me ghost my days Was it something that I did or my funny ways Are we just another lost digital fight You left me questioning every night

[Verse] Listen close to the roaring sky Feel the power the wind don't lie It's the anthem of the storm Nature's chaos takes its form [Chorus] No other sound can compete With the typhoon's mighty beat Feel the thunder feel it strike It's the music of the night [Verse 2] Stirring waves and bending trees Voices carried on the breeze Harmony of nature's song Echoes loud where you belong [Chorus] No other sound can compete With the typhoon's mighty beat Feel the thunder feel it strike It's the music of the night [Bridge] Let the tempest take control Hear it deep within your soul Feel the symphony so grand Played by nature's fierce hand [Chorus] No other sound can compete With the typhoon's mighty beat Feel the thunder feel it strike It's the music of the night

[Verse] Born in a hard place dust in my hair No one told me it was easy no one cared Roads worn down rough under boots Chasing lightning while I pick up roots [Verse 2] Days of sweat nights of cold nightmares Stars above they whisper they stare I fight shadows with a voice and a song No right no wrong but I’m where I belong [Chorus] Rock is in my veins blood that's alive Heart pounding loud under the sky Scream it out feel the world shake It's the fire I feed won't let it break [Verse 3] Rivers dry up mountains they move I carve paths with every word that’s bruised Pain like thunder fills every breath In the ashes the phoenix finds its rest [Bridge] Echoes from the past but I don’t hear They try to drown it out but it’s clear I stand alone but I stand tall Burned bridges behind no time to crawl [Chorus] Rock is in my veins blood that's alive Heart pounding loud under the sky Scream it out feel the world shake It's the fire I feed won't let it break

It starts with one, one thing I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know, time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day, the clock ticks life away It's so unreal, didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryna hold on, did-didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mockin' me Actin' like I was part of your property Rememberin' all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so far Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me in the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this, there's only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this, there's only one thing you should know I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter

I'm dancing with my demons I'm hanging off the edge Storm clouds gather beneath me Waves break above my head Headfirst hallucination I wanna fall wide awake now You tell me it's alright Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight But nobody can save me now I'm holding up a light I'm chasing out the darkness inside 'Cause nobody can save me Stared into this illusion For answers yet to come I chose a false solution But nobody proved me wrong, no Headfirst hallucination I wanna fall wide awake Watch the ground giving way now You tell me it's alright Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight But nobody can save me now I'm holding up a light I'm chasing out the darkness inside 'Cause nobody can save me Been searching somewhere out there For what's been missing right here I've been searching somewhere out there For what's been missing right here I wanna fall wide awake now So tell me: it's alright Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight And only I can save me now I'm holding up a light Chasing out the darkness inside And I don't wanna let you down But only I can save me Been searching somewhere out there For what's been missing right here

Verse 1 (Male Lead) I gave you everything, my heart and soul, But in the dark, I watched us lose control. Every promise turned to ash in the wind, Told myself it’d be the last, but here we begin. Pre-Chorus (Male Lead & Female Backup) It was love that cut too deep, A passion we couldn’t keep. Now I stand here torn apart, Screaming out with a shattered heart. Chorus (Both) It’s never enough, the echoes of us, Every scar reminds me of trust misplaced. It’s never enough, the weight of love, Can’t escape the ghost of your embrace. Verse 2 (Female Backup) You were my strength and my fatal flaw, In every fight, I saw what we really are. Hoping, fearing, tied to your flame, Letting go but I’m calling your name. Bridge (Male Lead & Female Backup) (Softly, then building) One last time, I’ll walk this road alone, Fingers cold, letting go of stone. (United voices) Still, the pain is bittersweet, But in the silence, I’m learning to breathe. Verse 3 (Male Lead & Female backup) (Male Lead) I'm breaking free from the chains you left, Filling the void of Love's theft. Every step, a jagged edge to tread, But I rise from the ashes, no longer misled. (Female Backup) And I watch as the past unravels slow, Finding strength in the places I let go. A spark reignites within my core, Learning I'm worth so much more. Final Chorus (Both) It’s never enough, the echoes of us, But I know now, this love must fade. It’s never enough, when push comes to shove, Time to leave this shadow we made.

[Verse] He left but he never said goodbye Taught me how to paint my tears dry Got my toughness from the empty sky Still hoping for a reason why [Verse 2] Used to dream he'd come around Lift me up when I'm feeling down But shadows don't make a sound Now I walk this lonesome town [Chorus] Daddy issues written on my sleeve Looking for love that won't leave Heart's a maze I can't retrieve Broken pieces I can't weave [Verse 3] Found his jacket behind the door Glory days we've never worn In his footsteps but I'm torn Loving him was never sworn [Verse 4] Momma tried to mend my mind Taught me strength wasn’t hard to find But I keep leaving her behind Searching answers in the blinds [Chorus] Daddy issues written on my sleeve Looking for love that won't leave Heart's a maze I can't retrieve Broken pieces I can't weave
