Backstory:
Stained Prospect emerged from the eclectic music scene of Austin, Texas in 2012, comprised of childhood friends Dean Harvey (vocals) and Leon Michaels (guitar), along with college buddies Griffin Hayes (bass) and Tony O’Connell (drums). They spent their early days playing in small local bars, honing their skills and finding their unique sound. Their breakthrough came in 2014 when their self-produced EP caught the attention of an A&R executive at a major record label.
Despite their humble beginnings, Stained Prospect catapulted to mainstream success with their blend of invigorating and emotionally charged music. They have since toured extensively, collected numerous awards, and earned a loyal fanbase. Their music is their diary; raw, direct, and brimming with introspective honesty, each track captures an emotion, a moment, a memory.

Title:
“Shadows of Tomorrow”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Staring at the [D] walls, heartbeats echo [Em] hollow,
[G] Trapped in the [C] past, chasing the [D] shadows of tomorrow.
[C] Smoke in our [D] eyes, truth dressed in [Em] sorrow,
[G] We’re just the [C] dreamers, lost in the [D] shadows of tomorrow.
(Chorus)
[Am] Wake up, it’s [C] time, let’s start a [G] rev-o-lution,
[D] Break the chains, ignite the [Em] sparks of resolution.
[Am] Stand up, be [C] brave, drown out the [G] confusion,
[D] Unite in the [C] light, end this [D] illusion.
(Verse 2)
[C] Whispers of [D] change, echoed in [Em] silence,
[G] Hope’s not in [C] vain, in the [D] face of defiance.
[C] Life’s not a [D] game, no space for [Em] compliance,
[G] We are the [C] fighters, dancing in the [D] shadows of tomorrow.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
[Am] As we rise like the [C] sun, let’s set the [G] world on fire,
[D] Burn the old, embrace the [Em] new, reaching higher and higher.
[Am] Together, we’ll [C] conquer, no room for [G] sorrow,
[D] We are the [C] dreamers, shaping the [D] shadows of tomorrow.
