Title:
“Absence of Sunlight”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath the city lights, [D] we found a world so cold,
[Em] Shadows whisper lullabies, [C] tales that never told.
[G] Through the chaos and the noise, [D] we dared to unfold,
[Em] In our hearts, a silent voice, [C] braver and bold.
(Chorus)
[G] Absence of Sunlight, [D] we aren’t afraid,
[Em] Shining in the moonlight, [C] slaying our own shade.
[G] Absence of Sunlight, [D] we’re the unmade,
[Em] Rocking in the moonlight, [C] on the path we laid.
(Verse 2)
[G] Echoes of the silent cries, [D] dancing in our dreams,
[Em] We’re the rebels in disguise, [C] deafening the screams.
[G] In the Absence of Sunlight, [D] we found our beams,
[Em] Radiating the dark night, [C] with the light of our themes.
(Chorus)
[G] Absence of Sunlight, [D] we aren’t afraid,
[Em] Shining in the moonlight, [C] slaying our own shade.
[G] Absence of Sunlight, [D] we’re the unmade,
[Em] Rocking in the moonlight, [C] on the path we laid.
