Shadow's Call

In the alley's breath, where the streetlights die,

A whisper coils like smoke in the sky.

Footsteps echo on wet cobblestone,

Calling me deeper, I'm never alone.

(Pre-Chorus)

The veil is thin, the night is wide,

Something ancient stirs inside.

(Chorus)

Shadow's call, shadow's call,

Pulling me down where the lost ones fall.

Shadow's call, hear it rise,

In the dark between your eyes.

Shadow's call—answer me.

(Verse 2)

Cold fingers trace the edge of my soul,

Promises broken in voices so old.

Moonlight fractures on rusted iron gates,

Leading to places where reason abates.

(Pre-Chorus)

The hunger wakes, the silence breaks,

No turning back from the choice it makes.

(Chorus)

Shadow's call, shadow's call,

Pulling me down where the lost ones fall.

Shadow's call, hear it rise,

In the dark between your eyes.

Shadow's call—answer me.

(Bridge)

No light to guide, no truth to hold,

Just the echo of stories untold.

I reach for the void, it reaches for me,

In the darkness... I am free.

(Final Chorus – Extended)

Shadow's call, shadow's call,

Swallow me whole, consume it all.

Shadow's call, forever rise,

In the dark, there are no more lies.

Shadow's call—answer me.

(Fade with echoing whispers: "Answer me...")
