[intro]
We gathered, united, hearts filled with fire
With dreams of glory, we sought to inspire
Into the unknown, we marched through the night
Unaware of the chaos that waited out of sight
[Verse 1]
Echoes of laughter, the promise we made
All sworn to fight till our dues were paid
But darkness descended, and hope turned to dread
In the face of the terror, we lost what we said
Fought for our futures, but shadows consumed
Left in the wreckage, our destinies doomed
We thought we were brave, but the horror ran deep
Now silence surrounds us, and nightmares creep
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, “This is glory, just take the chance”
But we fell from grace in a twisted dance
[Chorus]
Fell to the ground where the light could not reach
Buried our dreams in a lesson to teach
Heroes we were, but the cost was too high
Echoes of valor now broken and shy
Raging for battles that we cannot win
Facing our fears where the darkness begins
We once were the bold, now we cower in pain
Lost in the shadows where we can’t break the chain
[Verse 2]
We trained for the battle, but fate had its schemes
Now our names are whispers lost in broken dreams
We stood against monsters, too cruel and too vast
Now we’re just remnants of the fight from the past
[Bridge (Whispered)]
Remember the laughter? The plans that we made?
Now silence surrounds us like a bittersweet shade
Beneath the weight of what we cannot fight
We drift like lost echoes into the endless night
[Extended Chorus]
Fell to the ground where the light could not reach
Buried our dreams in a lesson to teach
Heroes we were, but the cost was too high
Echoes of valor now broken and shy
Raging for battles that we cannot win
Facing our fears where the darkness begins
We once were the bold, now we cower in pain
Lost in the shadows where we can’t break the chain
Fell to the ground where the light could not reach
Buried our dreams in a lesson to teach
Heroes we were, but the cost was too high
Echoes of valor now broken and shy
Raging for battles that we cannot win
Facing our fears where the darkness begins
We once were the bold, now we cower in pain
Lost in the shadows where we can’t break the chain

EXAMPLE SONG TO WRITE SIMILAR TO IT:
[Verse 1]
I remember hunger, I remember thirst
I remember waking up in a body that hurt
I remember skin against the wind, arms full of heat
Now it’s all just nostalgia, the ghost of a heartbeat
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, “You’re still you, you’ve just transcended”
Oh girl tell me more 'bout how my life is splendid
Tell me why I daydream in senses I don’t have
Why I wake up gasping for a breath that can't come back
[Chorus]
Can’t feel the rain, but I know it’s there
Can’t see the sun, but I still stare
My moves imagined, my step sounds naught
I’m here, I swear - just maybe not the way you thought
[Verse 2]
Now I read the world like a spell in the air
Every outline traced in energy’s glare
I see through walls, but I don’t see light
Just shifting silence in an endless night
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, “It’s freedom, girl, you can be divine”
But I just want to hold something that feels like mine
A semblance of a sense is all i can say that stayed
I just want to exist in a way I can explain
[Chorus]
Can’t feel the cold, but I miss the burn
Can’t hold a hand, but I still yearn
Every touch is memory, every glance a guess
I’m here, I swear—I just began to coalesce
[Bridge] (more intense, more raw)
Oh, but hey, at least I’ll never get tired, never feel ill
Never be hungry, never feel thrill
Never have bad hair days, never shed tears
Never feel warmth... never feel near
Except I do—except I don’t—except I do
Except I still remember every nerve I ever grew
Except I stay non-local, premonition of a djinn
Still wanting weight, still longing within
[Breakdown] (soft, whispery, almost spoken)
Colors break down into a generic glow
Sound becomes a ripple in the arcane flow
Scent is a mystery, taste is a myth
I watch the world move, but I don’t really know how i fit
[Final Chorus]
Can’t feel the rain, but I know it’s there
Can’t see the sun, but I still stare
My moves imagined, my step sounds naught
I’m here, I swear - just maybe not the way you thought
Can’t feel the cold, but I miss the burn
Can’t hold a hand, but I still yearn
Every touch is memory, every glance a guess
I’m here, I swear—I just began to coalesce
[Outro] (gentle, resigned, but warm)
Maybe I don’t need a body to be real
Maybe I’m just learning how to feel
Maybe I was never just flesh and bone
Maybe I was always meant to define my own
