Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em G D A
Through the darkness, we’re all alone,
Em G D A
In the silence, where secrets are sown.
Em G D A
Chasing shadows, we lose ourselves,
Em G D A
In the echo, of a forgotten bell.
(Chorus)
C D Em
Chasing shadows into the night,
C D Em
In hopes of finding the light.
C D Em
In this world undone, we continue to fight,
C D Em
While chasing shadows into the night.
(Verse 2)
Em G D A
Lost in a maze, no way to ascertain,
Em G D A
An escape from this endless pain.
Em G D A
Chasing shadows, we search for truth,
Em G D A
In the remnants, of a lost youth.
(Chorus)
C D Em
Chasing shadows into the night,
C D Em
In hopes of finding the light.
C D Em
In this world undone, we continue to fight,
C D Em
While chasing shadows into the night.
