Breathe No More



In the fires of love's demise, we find  
A tale of shattered hearts entwined,  
Beneath the weight of shattered dreams,  
Where screams unspoken tear at seams,  

The vows once pledged, now torn apart,  
Leave wounds too deep to mend or start,  
In the bleak abyss where echoes swell,  
A tortured soul descends to hell.  

Breathe no more, in the silence deep,  
Where shadows dance and secrets keep,  
A storm of rage, a tempest wild,  
In the heart of a broken child.  

The metal clang of vows undone,  
The bitter taste of battles won,  
The tears unshed, the anger seethes,  
In the darkness where silence grieves.  

Through the flames of hatred's fire,  
A phoenix rises from the pyre,  
To seek redemption in the night,  
To battle on, to stand and fight.  

Breathe no more, in the cold embrace,  
Of solitude's relentless pace,  
The echoes of a love now lost,  
In the shadows where demons are tossed.  

The echoes of a love now lost,  
In the shadows, memories tossed,  
A heart that's broken, bleeding red,  
In the chasms where dreams are dead.  

Breathe no more, in the echoes vast,  
Of promises made, vows meant to last,  
In the wreckage of a love once pure,  
In the ruins where hope endures.  

The metal screams, the guitars wail,  
In the fury of a love gone stale,  
The drums of war, the battle cry,  
In the heart of a soul left dry.  

Breathe no more, in the swirling storm,  
Of emotions raw, of hearts forlorn,  
In the void where love once dwelt,  
In the dark abyss where silence knelt.  

The echoes of a love now dead,  
In the rivers of tears now shed,  
A soul adrift in the sea of pain,  
In the raging storm, the hurricane.  

Breathe no more, in the endless night,  
Where shadows dance and dreams take flight,  
In the realm where love meets its end,  
In the broken hearts that never mend.  

So let the heavy metal roar,  
In the echoes of a love at war,  
In the chaos of a shattered heart,  
In the realm where love must part.  

Breathe no more, in the final breath,  
In the face of a love lost to death,  
In the echoes of a broken vow,  
In the darkness where love is now.  

But though the night may seem so long,  
And though the pain may feel so strong,  
In the echoes of a love gone cold,  
In the shadows where dreams are sold.  

Breathe no more, in the fading light,  
In the echoes of a love turned blight,  
In the silence where hearts must weep,  
In the universe where dreams are sleep.  

For in the end, the spirit soars,  
Through the echoes of a love once roars,  
In the dark abyss where pain is rife,  
In the realm where love is life.  

Breathe no more, in the depths below,  
Where the echoes of a love times flow,  
In the silence where hearts must break,  
In the echoes of a love forsake.  

But rise above, in the metal's call,  
In the fury of a love once tall,  
In the echoes of a world so torn,  
In the shadows where love is born.

So breathe once more, in the echoes deep,  
In the realm where souls can keep,  
In the chaos of a love now free,  
In the echoes where we will always be.   

Let the heavy metal's power reign,  
In the echoes of a love's refrain,  
In the realm where hearts are pure,  
In the darkness where dreams endure.   

Breathe no more, in the soul's embrace,  
In the echoes of a love's embrace,  
In the shadows where dreams take flight,  
In the echoes of a love so bright.   

In the echoes of a love so strong,  
In the realm where we all belong,  
In the realm where hearts will soar,  
In the echoes of a love once more.   

So breathe no more, in the tempest wild,  
In the realm where love is defiled,  
In the echoes of a love torn apart,  
In the whispers of a broken heart.   

But in the end, the soul will rise,  
Through the echoes of a love's demise,  
In the darkness of a love now free,  
In the echoes where we will always be.   

Breathe no more, in the storm's caress,  
In the echoes of a love's redress,  
In the shadows where hope will glow,  
In the echoes of a love's true flow.   

In the echoes of a love so bright,  
In the realm where dreams ignite,  
In the realm where love is pure,  
In the echoes where hearts endure.   

So breathe once more, in the metal's fire,  
In the realm where love fulfills desire,  
In the echoes of a world so new,  
In the echoes of a love so true.
