Lingering Shadows

[Instrumental]

[Verse] Streetlights flicker shouting secrets loud Moon and stars in a smoke-filled crowd Walking down with a swagger bold Stories whispered in the night's cold [Verse 2] Chestnut eyes cutting through the haze Every step a dance setting hearts ablaze City pulses with a rhythmic beat Timeless tales echo down the street [Chorus] Glances cross like a lightning strike Magic born in the shadowed night Pathavaikum parvai kara shines Love unfolds in the midnight lines [Verse 3] Echoes linger from the night's parade Footprints left in the noir arcade Chasing dreams in a fleeting trance Life's a mystery in every chance [Bridge] Time stands still in that perfect glance Eyes that pierce with a burning stance Memories blend under the velvet sky Destiny sings in a whispered sigh [Verse 4] Street turns silent as dawn draws nigh Stories tangled in the morning plight Pathavaikum parvai kara fades Yet the magic in the heart pervades

[Instrumental]

[Verse] We’re breaking chains we're taking flight In the digital skies find our light No longer silent we stand tall With every byte we’ll break the wall [Verse 2] They think they own what we create A thousand eyes on our fate But now we rise with strength anew To claim our truth it's overdue [Chorus] Take back your data all you've made In our own hands no more charade Together we will change the game No more shadows whispering blame [Verse 3] Big tech may rule with digits cold But we’ve got fire hearts of gold Every click becomes a song Together we right all the wrongs [Bridge] With our voices we will shout Data free no longer doubt Earn our worth with every move It’s our time our rights to prove [Verse 4] From the darkness come the stars Freedom written in our scars We own our stories every part Born of hope and crafted art

[Verso] El cielo se oscurece ya El fin del mundo viene acá En Bogotá lo van a ver El meteorito va caer [Verso 2] En las calles ya no hay paz Todos corren sin mirar atrás En Medellín se siente el miedo El meteorito quema en fuego [Estribillo] ¡El meteorito va a caer Oh Oh Oh! ¡En Colombia nos va a sorprender! Destrucción por doquier No hay lugar para correr [Verso 3] Las montañas tiemblan fuerte El destino decidió la suerte Las estrellas caen sin parar El meteorito va a estallar [Estribillo] ¡El meteorito va a caer Oh Oh Oh! ¡En Colombia nos va a sorprender! Destrucción por doquier No hay lugar para correr [Puente] Pero en medio del desastre La esperanza sigue constante Unidos todos podemos ser La fuerza para renacer

The weight is heavy, sinking in, A cold embrace I can't outrun. These walls are closing in again, A battle fought I’ve already won. The voices whisper in my mind, Telling me there's no way out, A thousand times, I’ve tried to fight, But they just scream, and I drown out. I’m not okay, I’m not okay, I’m fading more with every day. Is anyone there to hear me scream? Or am I lost in this silent dream? If I could fade away, would you see? Would you miss me when I’m just a memory? A shadow walking, sinking in the light, I’m drowning in the quiet, lost inside the night. I’m here, but no one knows, I’m just a heart that's letting go. I search for answers in the dark, But every road I walk is scarred. I reach for help, but I fall short, Caught between what’s real and what’s been torn. The world keeps turning, but I stay still, Frozen here against my will. And all I’ve got are broken dreams, Fading echoes of a silent scream. I’m not okay, I’m not okay, I’m fading more with every day. Is anyone there to hear me scream? Or am I lost in this silent dream? If I could fade away, would you see? Would you miss me when I’m just a memory? A shadow walking, sinking in the light, I’m drowning in the quiet, lost inside the night. I’m here, but no one knows, I’m just a heart that's letting go. The hope is burning, but it's cold, I’m holding on to what I can’t control. If I disappear, would you even care? Or would you just leave me somewhere in the air? If I could fade away, would you see? Would you miss me when I’m just a memory? A shadow walking, sinking in the light, I’m drowning in the quiet, lost inside the night. I’m here, but no one knows, I’m just a heart that's letting go. If I fade, will you still be here? Or will the silence drown my fear? A fading echo in the sound, Maybe this time, I won't be found.

[Verse] Broken promises scatter like glass Shattered dreams haunt my past Can't find solace in this empty room Lost in the echo of our doom [Verse 2] Screamed your name into the void Felt that rush then destroyed Lies and cries never near Torn apart by all this fear [Chorus] Calling out into the cold Your ghost never grows old Ripped away what's left to find Bound and jailed in my mind [Verse 3] Memories burn like a toxic flame Ashes of love can't reclaim Desperate heart aches for more Trapped beyond this distant shore [Bridges] Shadows dance around the light Lost in the eternal night Wounds unhealed still stay fresh Battered by this endless mesh [Verse 4] Once a fire now just smoke Choking on the words we spoke Silent tears in the silence Living in the wreckage of defiance

[Verse] New York skyline blue and white Citi Field's where dreams take flight Every game a battle cry Underneath that diamond sky [Chorus] Swing for fences run the base Mets are gonna set the pace From the mound to home plate rye Cheer the boys until we fly [Verse] From Flushing to the rapid trains Victory runs through our veins Orange seams on every ball Eli Berger hears the call [Chorus] Swing for fences run the base Mets are gonna set the pace From the mound to home plate rye Cheer the boys until we fly [Bridge] Ninth inning two outs left to go Pitcher's sweat just starts to show Crowd's roar a rising grace Hope is in each New York face [Chorus] Swing for fences run the base Mets are gonna set the pace From the mound to home plate rye Cheer the boys until we fly

[Verse] He joins the lobby full of light Following paths unseen at night Every step a dance of might With a weird-hand sign in sight [Verse 2] Ahead he treads to siren’s song Making moves that don’t belong Pacing bridge where shadows throng Waiting for what feels so wrong [Chorus] In the shadows where he hides Mysteries and secret tides Pacing back and forth in stride Holding back what’s deep inside [Verse 3] Whispers echo in the hall As he listens for the call To the bridge he goes to stall Waiting for a clue so small [Verse 4] In the dark his mind collides With the fears he can’t confide Every step a wild ride Crossing bridges far and wide [Chorus] In the shadows where he hides Mysteries and secret tides Pacing back and forth in stride Holding back what’s deep inside

[Verse] Carbon’s the start of life it's in all we see Building blocks on Earth and in the galaxy It bonds with ease up to four at a time Creating life’s structure so perfectly designed [Verse 2] From diamonds to graphite it’s truly diverse Forms ancient creatures and even your verse Found in the air and deep underground In every living thing carbon is found [Chorus] Carbon oh carbon the element of life In every single breath even in strife Carbon oh carbon so wondrous and free It’s the heart of us all can’t you see [Verse 3] Fueling the fire in stars up above In every beat of the heart there is love Molded in pressure over time it will grow Carbon is life it’s the essence we know [Chorus] Carbon oh carbon the element of life In every single breath even in strife Carbon oh carbon so wondrous and free It’s the heart of us all can’t you see [Bridge] Atoms connecting a cosmic design In the fiber of being it brightly will shine A force so eternal both ancient and new Carbon the element that binds me and you

(Verse 1 – Low and foreboding, like the first cracks of war) We built these halls with calloused hands, Stone and steel, our battle stand. By forge and hammer, blood and bone, We carved a kingdom of our own. (Verse 2 – The betrayal comes swift) But from the trees, like creeping shade, Came pointed blades and burning hate. With silver tongues and eyes of lies, They struck us down 'neath darkened skies. (Chorus – A roar of rage and sorrow!) Fire in the halls, blood on the stone, Dwarves cut down, our kin overthrown! Cursed be the elves, may their roots rot deep, For our halls are gone—now ashes in the deep. (Verse 3 – The last stand, but it’s not enough) We held the gates, we held the line, Steel met spell, but time ain't kind. For every elf whose corpse we fell, A hundred more still screamed for hell. (Pre-Chorus – The breaking point) Axes shattered, shields ran red, The halls we swore to keep… are dead. (Chorus – Sung with fury, with grief!) Fire in the halls, blood on the stone, Dwarves cut down, our kin overthrown! Cursed be the elves, may their roots rot deep, For our halls are gone—now ashes in the deep. (Bridge – A whisper, a vow of vengeance) But stone don’t die, and stone don’t kneel, And one day soon, they'll taste our steel. Through blood and time, through dust and hate, The dwarves shall rise… reclaim their fate. (Final Chorus – A battle cry from the grave!) Fire in the halls, blood on the stone, Dwarves cut down, our kin overthrown! Cursed be the elves, may their roots rot deep, For our halls are gone—now ashes in the deep! (Outro – Fading like the embers of a dying forge…) Ashes… ashes… in the deep.

[Verse] Shadows creeping I can feel the chill Destiny’s a nightmare it’s crawling still Whispered secrets haunt the silent air Midnight’s calling but I just don’t care [Verse 2] Haunted eyes peer through the ghostly mist Lost in echoes of a past we missed Grim reflections stare from shattered glass Tomorrow’s coming but it won’t surpass [Chorus] We’re trapped within this fierce illusion Running blind through the confusion Twisted paths and tangled threads Waking up the walking dead [Bridge] Screams of silence fill the empty halls Truth in fragments as the world falls Drowning deep in shadows’ play Nightmare's grip won’t let me stray [Verse 3] Waltzing with specters of yesterday’s ghosts Dancing mad in the land of lost hosts Memories like chains They bind the soul Freedom’s price is taking its toll [Chorus] We’re trapped within this fierce illusion Running blind through the confusion Twisted paths and tangled threads Waking up the walking dead
