4. Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Lost in the echoes of yesterday,
Chasing dreams that always run away,
A prisoner in a world I didn’t make,
in the mirror, I see a face so worn and grey.

(Chorus)
Shadows in the rain, echoes of the pain,
Living in a world that’s gone insane.
Shadows in the rain, feeling so mundane,
In this life, it’s just a losing game.

(Verse 2)
In the darkness, I find a fleeting light,
In the silence of the blackest night,
Fighting demons that just won’t let go,
In the river of life, against the flow.

(Chorus)
Shadows in the rain, echoes of the pain,
Lost in a world that’s all in vain.
Shadows in the rain, tied in a chain,
In this life, it’s just a losing game.

(Bridge)
Break the chains, release the pain,
Find the sun through the pouring rain.
Stand in the light, fight the fight,
In this life, we gotta make things right.

(Chorus)
Shadows in the rain, echoes of the pain,
Living in a world that’s gone insane.
Shadows in the rain, feeling so mundane,
In this life, we will find our gain.

(Outro)
Through the shadows, through the pain,
In this life, it’s not all in vain.
Through the shadows, through the rain,
In this life, we will find our gain.
