[Intro: Music: Dissonant, echoing chords that fade into a quiet, ominous drone]

[Verse 1: Whispered vocals, slow tempo, almost spoken word]

The sun, a gilded lie it weaves,
A cage of light, where truth deceives.
The world’s walls built on falsehood’s frame,
My mind, a mirror, cracked in rain.

[Chorus: Vocals build in intensity, slightly faster tempo, melancholic melody, more singalong rhythm]

I feel the night in my veins ignite,
A whisper in blood, to seek the night.
The world's masks crumble, fall away,
When in the fog, mirror cracks hold sway.

[Verse 2: Emotive vocals, slightly more melodic, but still fragile, slightly more rhythmic]

By day, puppets dance in gilded gleam,
But their strings are frail, a cruel, thin dream.
I see the fissures in the glossy veneer,
Behind the facade – a bottomless fear.

[Verse 3: Intense vocals, raw emotion, voice cracks slightly, more driving rhythm]

Time’s a river flowing in reverse,
In shards of truth, the soul immersed.
An echo in the maze, a silent scream,
I crave the night, let madness reign supreme.

[Bridge: Reflective vocals, minimalist chords, almost a lament, tempo slows down slightly]

Am I a shadow, a dream in a dream’s hold?
Lost in the echo, in spaces cold?
Or does truth dance in darkness all alone?
When mirrors shatter, and the fog is shown.

[Final Chorus: Resurgent rhythm, powerful vocals, almost desperate, very singalong rhythm]

I heed the call, that wakes in the gloom,
Where shadows stretch in night’s starless room!
The masks are falling, the game is done,
When in the fog, mirror cracks set us free as one.

("Never alone… never alone… in madness we’re one…")

[Coda: Soft humming, fading chords, voice trails off into a whisper]

In night’s fog veiled, truth is unfurled,
An echo in the crack – forever stilled, in the world…
