The Hollow Prayer

[Verse 1] Late night rhythm on the pavement stone Walking from the shift, heading home alone Streetlights blurring in the heavy dark A sudden flash ignites a blinding spark [Chorus] A metal rush, a thunder in the air The world goes black, a hollow, silent prayer Eyes open slow to white and sterile light But no one turns, I'm fading from their sight [Verse 2] I'm walking through the walls of this quiet hall Watching as the tears of the people fall Drifting to the room where my body lies Still and cold beneath the watchful eyes [Bridge] A shadow whispers, standing in the door "Your time has come, you don't belong here anymore" "Accept the end or haunt these empty halls" I feel the grip of where the darkness calls [Outro] One final beat, the monitor goes flat A silent soul, I can't come back from that Into the mist, the world just slips away Leaving the night for a different kind of day [Instrumental Outro]
