Shadows creep up around my feet

In a life where love and death meet

Her sweet laughter rings bittersweet

Pulling me toward secrets we keep

Jealous fate and stolen time

Hidden sins carve into my mind

Her clear gaze is my only tune

I tread the edge in her light’s cocoon

Love hides behind layers of veils

Lost in a tragic tale

With every heartbeat, the scales sway

I make my vow in her name today

In the silence of the night, her voice remains

Its echoes break my chains

The world reflected in her eyes is still

While my hands etch shadows against my will

I feel the weight of what I’ve done

Lives lost under a sinking sun

Her gentle smile is the only thing

That pierces through my everything

Love hides behind layers of veils

Lost in a tragic tale

With every heartbeat, the scales sway

I make my vow in her name today

In the silence of the night, her voice remains

Its echoes break my chains

The world reflected in her eyes is still

While my hands etch shadows against my will

I feel the weight of what I’ve done

Lives lost under a sinking sun

Her gentle smile is the only thing

That pierces through my everything

Love hides behind layers of veils

Lost in a tragic tale

With every heartbeat, the scales sway

I make my vow in her name today
