Empty Streets Under the Dark Sky

[Intro]
Yea yea, it's dark, dear lord
Walking empty streets alone
No one around, just shadows and stone

[Verse 1]
Silent echoes, city breathes in hush
Empty pavements hold memories and crush
Cars pass by, their lights flicker and fade
No one notices the scars that trade

[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s making that sound in the night?
Voices whisper, hidden from sight
Why does darkness seem to swallow the light?
Is there no hope in the endless fight?

[Chorus]
Everything is empty when darkness falls
Walls are looking hazy, shadows crawl
Wouldn’t it be beautiful if we could rise?
Leave behind the dark, pierce the skies
Bright with joy, and pure delight
Help each other, turn darkness into light

[Bridge]
Why do we need darkness to define?
Can’t we just shine, forever shine?
Why do we get lost in others’ pain?
When the real fight is within, in our own domain

[Outro]
In this walk, all I see is emptiness
Darkness surrounds, no sweetness, no bliss
Long ago, life used to bloom and gleam
Now it's just a distant memory, a forgotten dream
