Verse 1:
In the silence of the night, I wander alone,
Questions swirling in my mind, where have I flown?
What lies beyond the veil, where shadows creep,
A haunting curiosity, in the dark I weep.
Chorus:
In the shadow of the end, I seek the light,
What lies beyond this life, in eternal night?
Fading echoes whisper truths that I can't see,
In the shadow of the end, is there peace for me?
Verse 2:
Faces of the lost, they dance in my dreams,
Memories of the past unravel at the seams.
Time ticks slowly, as my heart starts to race,
Searching for a clue, in this lonely place.
Chorus:
In the shadow of the end, I seek the light,
What lies beyond this life, in eternal night?
Fading echoes whisper truths that I can't see,
In the shadow of the end, is there peace for me?
Bridge:
Open the door, let the truth unfold,
Fear grips tight, but I want to be bold.
Will I find a path, or is this all in vain?
In this endless search, I'm both lost and gained.
Verse 3:
Staring into darkness, a flicker, a spark,
A voice calls to me from the depths of the dark.
Embrace the unknown, let go of my fear,
In the arms of death, maybe I'll find cheer.
Chorus:
In the shadow of the end, I seek the light,
What lies beyond this life, in eternal night?
Fading echoes whisper truths that I can't see,
In the shadow of the end, is there peace for me?
Outro:
In the shadow, in the shadow,
A dance with destiny, I’ll finally know.
In the shadow, in the shadow,
What’s after this life, will there be a glow?
