Pawns in the shadows

Pawns in the shadows

(Verse 1)
In shadows deep, where whispers creep,
A lonely soul, secrets to keep.
Vulnerable heart, a mind astray,
Seeking comfort, come what may.
A silver tongue, a guiding light,
Promising solace, day and night.
They pull you close, a gentle hand,
Into a world, they understand.
(Chorus)
Oh, the concept, a dangerous game,
When power plays with another's name.
A state's cold grip, a foreign design,
Turning a group into their own paradigm.
No longer free, no longer bright,
Just pawns in the shadows, lost to the light.
(Verse 2)
The chosen words, a doctrine spun,
Controlling thoughts 'til the setting sun.
Your old connections start to fray,
Family, friends, they fade away.
The outside world, a place of lies,
Only their truth reflected in your eyes.
They speak of purpose, grand and vast,
A future built, designed to last.
(Chorus)
Oh, the concept, a dangerous game,
When power plays with another's name.
A state's cold grip, a foreign design,
Turning a group into their own paradigm.
No longer free, no longer bright,
Just pawns in the shadows, lost to the light.
(Bridge)
From hopeful dreams to forced command,
A silent army, close at hand.
For labor, votes, or whispered fears,
They drain their lives, through silent tears.
A tragic echo, a chilling sound,
When human spirit is unbound.
(Chorus)
Oh, the concept, a dangerous game,
When power plays with another's name.
A state's cold grip, a foreign design,
Turning a group into their own paradigm.
No longer free, no longer bright,
Just pawns in the shadows, lost to the light.
(Outro)
Beware the whispers, the promises sweet,
When freedom's lost beneath their feet.
The concept lingers, a warning true,
Protect your mind, and see it through.
