Empty Shadows

[Instrumental]

[Instrumental]

### **[Intro – 0:00]** *(Ethereal synths with rising percussion)* Tick-tock, echoes hum— Pull me through the endless stream. Memories unravel, torn apart, Aether binds what breaks the heart. --- ### **[Verse 1 – 0:15]** A restless wind across the plains, Chasing shadows, bearing stains. Scarred by battles left behind, A soul that seeks but dares not find. Crystals hum beneath the earth, Guarding secrets tied to birth. A flame extinguished, yet remains, Bound by shards and unseen chains. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus – 0:45]** Searching… (Searching…) For echoes in fractured skies. Aether… (Aether…) Whispers where destiny lies. Searching for the way… --- ### **[Chorus – 1:05]** Aetherbound echoes fill the sky, Crimson teardrops we won't deny. Threads entwined by time’s cruel hand— Will we rise or let the darkness stand? --- ### **[Verse 2 – 1:35]** A fleeting shadow lost in time, Caught between the stars’ faint chime. A heartbeat torn from past and void, Seeking peace yet never joyed. An ark adrift through endless seas, Guiding lost souls on whispered breeze. Hope is carved from ancient wood, Weathered but forever good. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus – 2:00]** Searching… (Searching…) For hope beyond the veil of time. Aether… (Aether…) Guides us through this fractured rhyme. Searching for the way… --- ### **[Chorus – 2:20]** Aetherbound echoes fill the sky, Crimson teardrops we won't deny. Threads entwined by time’s cruel hand— Will we rise or let the darkness stand? --- ### **[Verse 3 – 2:50]** Winds howl across forsaken lands, A heart that falters yet withstands. Silent songs within the stone, Stories etched but still unknown. The void beckons, fierce and wide, Yet light remains, our constant guide. Through shadows deep, we find our way, Where dawn breaks upon a new day. --- ### **[Bridge – 3:10]** Between the cracks of broken space, We touch the crystal’s heart. Our journey ends where it began, Will hope survive this dying plan? --- ### **[Final Chorus – 3:35]** Aetherbound echoes fill the sky, Crimson teardrops we won't deny. Threads entwined by time’s cruel hand— We will rise and save this land. *(Instrumental outro fading at 4:00)*

[Verse] Walkin' beneath the moon's sad glow Whispers in the night a show Stars above me shine unsure Wonder what I'm wishin' for [Verse 2] Shadows dance on cobblestone Lonely as I roam alone City hummin' soft and low Dreamin' where the rivers flow [Chorus] Moonlight fallin' on my face Lost in time and lost in space Heartbeats echo in this place Love's a fleeting sweet embrace [Verse 3] Streetlight's flicker hold me tight Guidin’ steps through silent night Thoughts like echoes can't escape Ghosts of memories take shape [Bridge] Footsteps echo down the lane Wash away my inner rain Dream of you and me again In the moonlight’s warm refrain [Chorus] Moonlight fallin' on my face Lost in time and lost in space Heartbeats echo in this place Love's a fleeting sweet embrace

[Verse] In the dark where shadows linger Silent whispers cold as ice Heartbeats trapped within the echoes Lost in mazes of their lies [Verse 2] Eyes that once held distant glimmers Now just vacant windows stare Promises that once were treasures Shattered dreams float through the air [Chorus] In the storm where hope has faded Lonely voices cry in vain Secrets buried deep and jaded All that's left is empty pain [Verse 3] Hands once held now grasp at nothing Words of love turned ghostly Pale Laughter echoes in the distance Every memory feels frail [Bridge] Confusion wraps me tight like armor Betrayal cuts this fragile thread Every beat feels like a monument To the promises now dead [Chorus] In the storm where hope has faded Lonely voices cry in vain Secrets buried deep and jaded All that's left is empty pain

わかってくれるといいのですが、私はただ一人になりたいだけで、邪魔されたくないだけなのに、あなたはまだ騒ぎ続けています。 Ring~ ring.... Ring~ 居心地が悪いです。最初はあなたに伝えたかったのですが、あなたはまだ理解しようとしませんでした。私が数日間一人になりたいだけだと知らないのですか? Aaaaaaaa........ 君が嫌いだけど、それでも君が必要なんだ....... そして今、私は電話の音が怖いのです ring~ ring..... Ring.... Rrrrrr いつも一緒に笑ったり遊んだりしていた昔のように、また一緒にいられるかな。あなたがそんなふうになるなんて、誰が想像したでしょう？ Yeaaaaaaaa....... そんな状況なら死んだ方がましだ rrrrrr あなたが存在しないように、あるいは、私たちがお互いを知らないのなら一瞬で消え去るように祈りたい気分です。huaaa..... Haaaaa..... これはすべて私のせいです.... ありがとう、親友よ、あなたの幸せのためなら私は死ねる

[Verse] Kahi se aaya tha ek noor sa Ab andheron mein kho gaya hoon main Tere saath thi jo woh roshni Ab yaadon mein bas so raha hoon main [Pre-Chorus] Kabhi lagta hai tu mere paas hai Kabhi lagta hai bas aawaaz hai [Chorus] Dil ke paimane mein pal pal bhi hai Khoya hua noor hai tu abhi bhi hai [Verse 2] Woh kisse jo humne saath likhe Ab khwaabon mein hi dikhte Tere sang jeene ka tha main ullu Ab tanhaayi se main rihaayi [Bridge] Chandni raatein woh kahaan gaye Hum jo saath thhe woh pal le jaaye [Chorus] Dil ke paimane mein pal pal bhi hai Khoya hua noor hai tu abhi bhi hai

(Intro - Soft, gentle choir chords begin to build) Verse 1: Die stilte hang so swaar vandag, Ons harte vol van hartseer klag. Vir Tannie Connie, ons het haar lief, Haar liggie brand nou nie meer hier. (Choir swells slightly, adding warmth) Chorus: Maar haar lag, so vrolik en so eg, Haar omgee hart, wat alles reg. Dit bly in ons, vir ewig vas, Haar energie, wat nooit verpas. Verse 2: Ons hoop sy kry nou al wat sy kort, Waar sy ookal is, so vry en onbesorg. By familie wat haar liefde ken, Ons stuur ons liefde, hemel-hen. (Choir becomes slightly more prominent, harmonies deepen) Chorus: Want haar lag, so vrolik en so eg, Haar omgee hart, wat alles reg. Dit bly in ons, vir ewig vas, Haar energie, wat nooit verpas. Bridge: Ons weet dis nie die einde nie, Eendag weer, sal ons haar sien. En beter as wat was, sal dit dan wees, Die pyn verdwyn, en daar is vrede. (Choir softens slightly, becoming more comforting) Outro (Connie's Voice - spoken/sung softly over the choir) My Chris, my ginnette, my kinders so dierbaar, Vergewe my asseblief, die pad was te swaar. Ek moes gaan, my tyd was klaar, Maar weet, my liefde bly altyd daar. In julle harte, vir ewig saam, Al is ek weg, ek fluister julle naam. (Choir fades out slowly on a peaceful chord)

Verse 1 Tớ chỉ dám nhìn cậu từ xa, Giữa sân trường nắng vương màu lá. Cậu cười nhẹ với ai ngoài kia, Mà lòng tớ cứ mãi lặng thinh. Dòng tin nhắn viết rồi lại xóa, Tên cậu tớ chẳng dám gọi ra. Đứng phía sau, chẳng ai biết đến, Chỉ có tớ cùng những lặng im. Pre-Chorus Có khi nào cậu từng thoáng nghĩ, Có ai đó vẫn luôn lặng lẽ nhìn? Một người chẳng dám đứng bên cạnh, Chỉ lặng thinh giấu hết vào tim. Chorus Tớ thích cậu, nhưng chẳng thể nói, Chỉ mong cậu mãi luôn vui thôi. Dẫu biết rằng chẳng thể chung lối, Tớ vẫn ngốc nghếch dõi theo cậu hoài. Tớ thích cậu, dù cậu đâu biết, Chỉ cần cậu rạng rỡ như hôm nay. Nếu một ngày cậu vô tình nhận ra, Xin hãy mỉm cười, rồi quên tớ đi. Verse 2 Tớ đã quen với những ngày như thế, Dõi theo cậu mà chẳng ai hay. Bức thư viết vội, rồi lại giấu đi, Vì sợ cậu biết rồi sẽ chẳng như xưa. Chiều nay cơn gió thoảng qua, Cuốn đi cả những điều chưa nói. Tớ vẫn đứng ở nơi quen thuộc, Dõi theo cậu… như đã từng thôi. Pre-Chorus (repeat) Có khi nào cậu từng thoáng nghĩ, Có ai đó vẫn luôn lặng lẽ nhìn? Một người chẳng dám đứng bên cạnh, Chỉ lặng thinh giấu hết vào tim. Chorus (repeat) Tớ thích cậu, nhưng chẳng thể nói, Chỉ mong cậu mãi luôn vui thôi. Dẫu biết rằng chẳng thể chung lối, Tớ vẫn ngốc nghếch dõi theo cậu hoài. Tớ thích cậu, dù cậu đâu biết, Chỉ cần cậu rạng rỡ như hôm nay. Nếu một ngày cậu vô tình nhận ra, Xin hãy mỉm cười, rồi quên tớ đi. Bridge Rồi mai đây, ta sẽ lớn lên, Con đường ấy cũng chẳng còn như trước. Nhưng nếu có một lần ngoái lại, Tớ vẫn ở đây, nhìn cậu từ xa. Outro Tớ chỉ dám nhìn cậu từ xa, Cậu vẫn là cậu, nắng vẫn chan hòa. Một ánh mắt thoáng qua vội vã, Cũng đủ để tớ nhớ cả đời này.
