in the shadows

Verse 1
Arise and walk these shadowed streets,
Breathe deep the remnants of a time long past,
Whose industrial heart still beats,
In toxic fumes, our visions cast.

Chorus
Oh, lift the banner, brave and torn,
Let the bitter winds collide,
Through every crack, through every scorn,
Hope’s light will be our guide.

Verse 2
Parted lips share wisdom\'s song,
Breaking silence that binds the soul,
In every echo, we belong,
Orphaned hearts, we make whole.

Chorus
Oh, lift the banner, brave and torn,
Let the bitter winds collide,
Through every crack, through every scorn,
Hope’s light will be our guide.

Verse 3
Release those questions buried deep,
Can we forgive what Time has lost?
Awaken dreams from restless sleep,
And rise above their heavy cost.

Chorus
Oh, lift the banner, brave and torn,
Let the bitter winds collide,
Through every crack, through every scorn,
Hope’s light will be our guide.

Outro
Illumine horizons once concealed,
As morning calls, we’ll break these chains,
With voices strong, our truth revealed,
From this darkness, our Spirit gains.
