The Chasm We Made

[Verse 1]
We saw the signs; we heard the chime,
The age unraveling in its time.
Yet we ran, heads high, through crimson rain,
Believing our wits could erase the stain.

[Verse 2]
Too clever, we thought, to face our dread,
Too wise to mourn the lives we’d shed.
We sang of reason, we played the tune,
Drowning the truth beneath our rune.

[Chorus]
We tried to run, to mask, to defy,
But could not escape the endless sky.
The weight we bore, the truths we skewed,
Became the chains that held us subdued.

[Verse 3]
With heads detached, in hand we held,
Brushes of logic where visions swelled.
“We’ll paint a world,” we proudly cried,
“Our truth, our rules—no need to hide!”

[Chorus]
We tried to run, to mask, to defy,
But could not escape the endless sky.
The weight we bore, the truths we skewed,
Became the chains that Shadow renewed.

[Bridge]
Shadow lingered, soft yet stark,
Maturing slowly in the dark.
Its icy touch, when it found its way,
Marked the hour we’d all obey.

[Final Chorus - Climactic Intensity]
We tried to run, to mask, to defy,
But could not escape the endless sky.
In our pride, we never knew—
We shaped the chasm we stumbled through.
