Transcript
00:11Hello darkness, my old friend
00:17I've walked these empty streets again
00:23Where promises turned into dust
00:30And gentle touches became rust
00:37Beneath the glow of hollow lights
00:41I hear the whispers of lost nights
00:49And the flames I see are dying low
00:55Burning bridges we can't cross no more
01:00In the silence where her laughter fades
01:07I'm left holding these empty shades
01:14Oh the fire's gone, it slipped away
01:21In the arms that never meant to stay
01:31She dances in the crowded glow
01:36With painted smiles that steal the show
01:43Her eyes like oceans cold and deep
01:49Where sailors drown and secrets keep
01:54The words we spoke now turn to ash
02:01A fleeting spark
02:03A sudden crash
02:07In the flames I see are dying low
02:14Burning bridges we can't cross no more
02:20In the silence where her laughter fades
02:26I'm left holding these empty shades
02:33Oh the fire's gone, it slipped away
02:40In the arms that never meant to stay
02:48I see the embers floating high
02:50I see the embers floating high
02:52Against the cold indifferent sky
02:54What once was warm now chills the bone
02:58A kingdom built on shifting stone
03:02No more the chase
03:05No more the fight
03:08Just endless days
03:11Without the light
03:15And the flames I see have turned to stone
03:21No warmth remains, I'm here alone
03:26Oh, in the silence of forgotten vows
03:33Oh, the modern heart that won't allow
03:41Oh, a love that lasts beyond the dawn
03:48That fires out
03:52And I'm moving on
04:01Hello darkness
