The lone light in the dark

[Intro — male vocals, low tone, dark synths, sparse beats] (Hhh‑h… hhh‑h…) I remember centuries, but I forgot how to breathe, Until I saw you — and the world started to sound again. [Verse 1] I was a shadow in the corridors of time, Stood where even nameless stars would fade and die. Immortality isn’t a gift — it’s a scar on my skin, I got used to the silence, to the tremble that wasn’t mine. But you walked by, and the air turned into something new, Like eternity suddenly became too short for just one moment with you. You smelled like rain and sunrise, like something truly alive, And I, a demon, felt for the first time that I wasn’t empty inside. (Ooh‑ooh…) [Pre‑Chorus — build‑up, crisp hi‑hats, slightly faster delivery] I wanted to stay away, not to touch, not to interfere, But every step you take is a magnet pulling me back here. I whispered to myself: “Don’t look, don’t feel, don’t believe,” But my heart was screaming: “She’s the only light in this endless grief.” [Chorus — full power, heavy beat, backing vocals as the “echo of ages”] I’m a demon, I’m a shadow, I shouldn’t be standing by your side, But I choose this pain just to be near you, just to stay close and abide. Let time run wild, let every bridge behind us burn into ash and dust, I’ll stay right here, even if the whole world turns cold and lost. Don’t ask me to become human — I can’t, it’s beyond my reach, But I’ll learn to be quiet when you sleep in the silence of the night. I won’t promise that it’ll all be simple and bright, But I swear I won’t let go of your hand, even if the sky falls down in sight. (La‑la‑la… la‑la‑la…) [Verse 2 — rhythmic, accented delivery, slightly rap‑style flow] You ask me: “What do you remember from the past?” I remember only cold, blades, and questions that never last. Now I remember how you frown at strong coffee’s bitter taste, How you hide your smile like it’s a secret no one’s meant to trace. I look at your hands — they carry the lines of your fate, While mine hold only ashes and shadows of battles I couldn’t escape. You’re mortal, you’re a spark that fades faster than snow, And that’s why I’m almost afraid to breathe when you’re close. [Bridge — minimalist, only keys and one steady beat per bar] If one day the darkness comes back to take me away, Know I’ll be searching for your voice through a thousand years and days. Don’t cry if I vanish — I’ll return in every breeze, In every dream where you smile like everything’s alright, if you please. (La‑la‑la… la‑la‑la…) [— whispered] [Chorus — even more powerful, crescendo, sharp drop at the end of the line] I’m a demon, I’m a shadow, I shouldn’t be standing by your side, But I choose this pain just to be near you, just to stay close and abide. Let time run wild, let every bridge behind us burn into ash and dust, I’ll stay right here, even if the whole world turns cold and lost. Don’t ask me to become human — I can’t, it’s beyond my reach, But I’ll learn to be quiet when you sleep in the silence of the night. I won’t promise that it’ll all be simple and bright, But I swear I won’t let go of your hand, even if the sky falls down in sight. [Outro — very soft, almost a whisper, sound dissolving in reverb] You’re the only thing that made eternity feel less hollow, Even if tomorrow I’m gone — I’ll still be with you, I vow. In your laughter, in your breath, in every new sunrise to come, (La‑la‑la…) I’m here.
