Secrets at the Mountain's Edge

[Intro]  
In the stillness of the night,  
Silent screams, a fading light,  
Whispers gathered in the gloom,  
Secrets hidden, weaving doom.  
[Verse 1]  
Underneath the silver moon,  
By the mountains' edge, I stood too soon,  
Watching shadows dance in fright,  
Beneath the stars, the edge of night.  
You did something dark and deep,  
A promise made, but never to keep.  
Your gaze was cold, your heart was bare,  
Yet, I chose to linger there.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
With every breath a thousand cries,  
I witnessed truth through fading eyes.  
The weight of silence, a heavy chain,  
I could have spoken, but chose my pain.  
[Chorus]  
I saw what you did, but kept it still,  
Your secret safe, a bitter thrill.  
Amongst the echoes, the spirits creep,  
A haunting memory, a promise to keep.  
Shadows embrace what should not be,  
In the darkness, you’re still free.  
[Bridge]  
The whispers in the wind are bold,  
Telling tales of a heart grown cold.  
I stood and watched as the rain fell down,  
In every droplet, your hidden crown.  
I could have saved him from the fate,  
But my silence sealed his door too late.  
[Outro]  
Now the echoes linger, they won't part,  
As shadows close around my heart.  
In the depths of night, I still confess,  
I saw what you did, and it’s my distress.  
Only the stars can witness truth,  
In this darkness, we lose our youth.
