Title:
“Shadows in the Haze”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – C, Em, Am, F)
(C) We walk as shadows in the haze, (Em) under the neon cityscape,
(Am) Lost in the rhythm of the night, (F) chasing lucid dreams in sight.
(Chorus – G, Em, C, D)
(G) We are the Warped Crown, (Em) born in the heart of the town,
(C) Singing the songs of the lost, (D) paying the ultimate cost.
(Verse 2 – C, Em, Am, F)
(C) Strangers pass us by, (Em) under the starless city sky,
(Am) Mirrored in their vacant gaze, (F) we are shadows in the haze.
(Chorus – G, Em, C, D)
(G) We are the Warped Crown, (Em) lost but now we’re found,
(C) Echoing the city’s pulse, (D) we are the echoes in the hush.
(Bridge – Am, G, C, D)
(Am) Through the streets, we wander, (G) with starry eyes, we ponder,
(C) In the echo of the night, (D) we find our brilliant light.
(Chorus x 2 – G, Em, C, D)
(G) We are the Warped Crown, (Em) painting the town,
(C) With the melodies we make, (D) we’re the anthem of the awake.
