echoes of the flame

Title: Shadows of Christmas Eve (Verse 1) In the still of the night, when the frost bites deep, Whispers curl like smoke, secrets we keep. The moon hangs heavy, a ghostly glow, Casting shadows where no one should go. (Chorus) Can you hear them calling, from the depths of despair? The spirits of Christmas, lost in the air. Jingle bells shatter, like glass on the floor, They dance in the darkness, but they’re wanting more. (Verse 2) Holly hangs crooked, tinsel frays at the seams, Echoes of laughter dissolve into screams. A tree trimmed in sorrow, ornaments weep, Beneath the bright colors, the memories creep. (Chorus) Can you hear them calling, from the depths of despair? The spirits of Christmas, lost in the air. Jingle bells shatter, like glass on the floor, They dance in the darkness, but they’re wanting more. (Bridge) Footsteps on rooftops, a chill in the breeze, The laughter of children becomes a disease. Santa’s sleigh rumbles, with shadows aboard, Bringing gifts of regret, a darkness ignored. (Verse 3) Under the mistletoe, a promise unkept, A heart once so merry, now twisted and swept. Candle flames flicker, revealing the past, Memories haunt like a spell that is cast. (Chorus) Can you hear them calling, from the depths of despair? The spirits of Christmas, lost in the air. Jingle bells shatter, like glass on the floor, They dance in the darkness, but they’re wanting more. (Outro) So gather your loved ones, but hold them real tight, For the spirits of Christmas may come for the night. As shadows grow longer, and the chill starts to weave, Remember this warning on Christmas Eve.

Verse 1 We go in circles, shadows in the dark, Chasing echoes of a past that never leaves, Footsteps on the ashes, the fire’s left its mark, No ending in sight, just a ghostly reprieve. Chorus Round and round, like a haunting refrain, No means to an end, just the cycle of pain, Humanity’s tale, written in blood, Fingers in the soil, all drowning in mud. Verse 2 Whispers of wars rising like smoke in the air, Nuclear nightmares, they shatter the sky, Mushroom clouds bloom, leaving nothing but despair, Too damaged to return, we silently cry. Chorus Round and round, like a haunting refrain, No means to an end, just the cycle of pain, Humanity’s tale, written in blood, Fingers in the soil, all drowning in mud. Bridge Should we flee this world, seek solace among the stars? Or dig deep within, heal the wounds and the scars? Bullets rain from the sky, a cruel summer shower, Gas chokes the dawn, stealing nature’s power. Verse 3 Water turns to acid, a slow, bitter death, Animals whisper their final goodbyes, In this dark carnival, we’re losing our breath, Hollowed by choices wrapped in twisted lies. Chorus Round and round, like a haunting refrain, No means to an end, just the cycle of pain, Humanity’s tale, written in blood, Fingers in the soil, all drowning in mud. Outro So tell me, dear stranger, what’s left to be done? As we dance in the chaos, under the gun, In circles we move, forever confined, In this shadowy waltz, our fates intertwined.

(Verse 1) In the shadows where the whispers creep, A fractured mind, no more sleep. Voices rising, a wicked choir, Can’t escape the heart of the fire. Cinders dance in my fractured brain, The laughter of madness, sweet insane. I wear the scars like medals of pain, In this charred kingdom, I’ll remain. (Chorus) Screaming, screaming, can you hear the sound? The echoes of the flame, spinning 'round and 'round. Burnt alive but I still breathe, In a world of ash, my soul will seethe. Crazy man, with a heart of gold, Lost in the chaos, the stories unfold. (Verse 2) I walk the line of destruction and grace, A jester in a burned-out place. Whispered secrets in my singed ears, A symphony crafted from blood and fears. The flames still flicker in my cracked reflection, Lost in the chaos of my own direction. Hear the madness, it calls my name, In this twisted game, I feel no shame. (Chorus) Screaming, screaming, can you hear the sound? The echoes of the flame, spinning 'round and 'round. Burnt alive but I still breathe, In a world of ash, my soul will seethe. Crazy man, with a heart of gold, Lost in the chaos, the stories unfold. (Bridge) Through the haze, I see the light, A flicker of hope in the dead of night. But the voices pull, they drag me down, Into the depths where the shadows crown. Am I a phoenix or just a ghost? A haunted soul, a tortured host. Embers whisper sweet melodies, In this madness, I find my release. (Chorus) Screaming, screaming, can you hear the sound? The echoes of the flame, spinning 'round and 'round. Burnt alive but I still breathe, In a world of ash, my soul will seethe. Crazy man, with a heart of gold, Lost in the chaos, the stories unfold. (Outro) So here I stand, in the aftermath, A broken puppet in a twisted path. The flame's embrace, I can't escape, Insanity's child, I wear no cape. Screaming, screaming, hear my cries, In the madness, I will rise. From the ashes, the voices reign, Forever bound to the echoes of the flame.

[Verse] Broken glass underfoot shadows hunt me down Screaming echoes in my head never drown Midnight on the run searching for a fight Anger and confusion shadowing the light [Verse 2] Electric rhythm in my veins pulsing through my heart Chasing ghosts of memories tearing me apart Dark clouds rolling thunder across the endless sky Lightning striking down gotta wonder why [Chorus] Scream it loud scream it raw haunted screams inside Running from the nothing break free from the tide Burning bridges in my wake fire blazing high Rise from the ashes let the spirits fly [Verse 3] Voices whisper in the night calling out my name Lost in twisted corridors never quite the same Madness in the mirror cracked reflection stares Fight the demons deep inside face the grip of fears [Bridge] Shattered dreams littered ground blood upon the stones Bones of the past echo through forgotten zones No salvation in the dark where the spirits roam Searching for redemption gotta find my home [Chorus] Scream it loud scream it raw haunted screams inside Running from the nothing break free from the tide Burning bridges in my wake fire blazing high Rise from the ashes let the spirits fly

[Verse] You stroll like you own the air you breathe With your nose so bent you can't deceive A dance in the mirror with your fake show You're cringing so much it's time to go [Chorus] Pick me pick me you always plead Your act is so fake it starts to bleed With that crooked nose and tired disguise Your true reflection's filled with lies [Verse 2] You strut around like they're all blind But your mask is slipping from your mind Your staged laughter echoes in the void A pick-me queen who can't avoid [Chorus] Pick me pick me you always plead Your act is so fake it starts to bleed With that crooked nose and tired disguise Your true reflection's filled with lies [Bridge] No more excuses no more pretense Your crooked smile fails to convince You're just a shadow a faded print A dried-up echo that's been spent [Chorus] Pick me pick me you always plead Your act is so fake it starts to bleed With that crooked nose and tired disguise Your true reflection's filled with lies

(Verse 1) When you walk into the room, With your style so sharp, so groomed, It’s like the world slows down for you. I try to play it cool, But I’m just another fool, 'Cause I don’t have your kind of view. (Pre-Chorus) You’re so perfect, it’s unfair, Your charm’s beyond compare. How’d I end up standing here? (Chorus) I’m not an Otmaniac, I don’t deserve to be. You’re out of my league, Otmane, And it’s so clear to see. (Verse 2) You’ve got clients on their knees, Hershey’s, Tourister, Olam, please. They’re Otmaniacs, I know it’s true. But I’m just out of place, An ordinary face, I’ll never shine the way you do. (Pre-Chorus) You’re the king of every scene, The French-Moroccan dream. And I’m lost in your machine. (Chorus) I’m not an Otmaniac, I don’t deserve to be. You’re out of my league, Otmane, And it’s so clear to see. (Bridge) Oh, I wish I had the charm you do, The grace to carry every room. But I’m just watching from afar, While you’re a global superstar. (Chorus) I’m not an Otmaniac, I don’t deserve to be. You’re out of my league, Otmane, And it’s so clear to see. (Outro) And I’ll just stay here in the crowd, Silently cheering out loud. I’m not an Otmaniac, no, not me. But you’re everything I wish I could be.

I’m not an Otmaniac, I don’t deserve to be. You’re out of my league, Otmane, And it’s so clear to see. You’ve got clients on their knees, Hershey’s, Tourister, Olam, please. They’re Otmaniacs, I know it’s true. But I’m just out of place, An ordinary face, I’ll never shine the way you do.

When you were here before,
 Couldn't look you in the eye,
 You're like a little grape,
 Your vibe is so out of line. You try to be special,
 But you're so out of place.
 The room feels uneasy
 Whenever we see your face. 
 Mineta’s a creep,
 Mineta’s a weirdo…
 Mineta, what are you doing there?
 Mineta, get out of there! 
 You stick to the walls,
 Always scheming your plans,
 The girls are avoiding,
 The reach of your tiny hands. You think you're so clever,
 But it’s really not okay,
 Your antics are cringey,
 Please just stay away. 
 Mineta’s a creep,
 Mineta’s a weirdo…
 Mineta, what are you doing there?
 Mineta, get out of there! 
 Ohhhh… no,
 You don’t belong here…
 No, no,
 You don’t belong here… Get away AWAY Awaaaaaaaaaaaay Awwwwwaaaaaaay Whatever is in your room… Whatever you have… You’re so very Pervy Just get away from me… Cos you’re a creep… You’re a weirdo… What the hell are you doing here… You don’t belong here….

[Verse] Tattered dreams in the back of my head Whispering ghosts won't let me forget Every day feels like weights on my chest Running in circles can't find any rest [Verse 2] Darkness closing I gasp for the air Voices screaming yet nobody's there Mirror's reflection just stares back at me Lost and forgotten no place to be free [Chorus] Shattered glass broken silence Silent screams wars of defiance Against the tide I'm standing here Holding on but drowning in fear [Verse 3] Streetlights flicker the night's closing in Empty bottles spilled lies never thin Eyes wide open but nothing to see Searching for answers that will never be [Bridge] Foggy nights and echoes of pain Memories dripping like haunting rain Shadows dance across my mind Trying to leave them all behind [Chorus] Shattered glass broken silence Silent screams wars of defiance Against the tide I'm standing here Holding on but drowning in fear

[Verse] Wanderin' through shadows murky Found myself drawn to the Gooncave Places where light never ventures Whispers lost souls always crave [Chorus] Gooncave calls me whispers softly Promises of secrets old Darkness wraps me voices haunting Stories lost not ever told [Verse 2] Stumbled on echoes of sorrow Cries of dreams left torn apart In the Gooncave fears untangled Every scream a work of art [Chorus] Gooncave calls me whispers softly Promises of secrets old Darkness wraps me voices haunting Stories lost not ever told [Bridge] Bones of the forgotten scattered Mementos of a life that fades In the Gooncave monsters gather Toiling in the endless shade [Verse 3] Strain to leave but steps are weighted Pulled back into dread embrace In the Gooncave hope is jaded Tears dry fast in empty space
