Ravens Over the Grid (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Steel gates open to the frost line sky

Crows descend as I walk alone

Ice on my cheek, a chill run in my spine

This city died but its spirit's still alive

Frost etches symbols across the glass walls tall

I find them where the night winds through it all

No one remembers what they mean or stand for

But my eyes read every rune like an open door

Pre-Chorus

Who holds this silence when the steel gets thin?

Why do shadows dance to the city's dark din?

Is it the cold that wakes them from their sleep?

Or something I've yet to find beneath the deep

Chorus

Ravens over the grid, I hear you call my name

Frozen runes unlock the secrets of this dead domain

I walk these streets where shadows keep their place

Follow every raven till we reach a different space

Verse 2

Frost on my collarbone, wind through every seam

The city hums with an ancient hidden dream

Beneath the rusting walls, there's a river flowing still

And its black waters whisper secrets only I can fill

Iron eagles watch from every rooftop high

Their wings outstretched against the darkening sky

Every bird is waiting for someone to arrive

To take the torch that burned before it died

Pre-Chorus

Who holds this silence when the steel gets thin?

Why do shadows dance to the city's dark din?

Is it the cold that wakes them from their sleep?

Or something I've yet to find beneath the deep

Chorus

Ravens over the grid, I hear you call my name

Frozen runes unlock the secrets of this dead domain

I walk these streets where shadows keep their place

Follow every raven till we reach a different space

Bridge

Perhaps it's not the cold that sets us free

But the city's bones remembering what they used to be

Every shadow holds an ember yet untold

Let me take one home so I don't lose my soul

Chorus

Ravens over the grid, I hear you call my name

Frozen runes unlock the secrets of this dead domain

I walk these streets where shadows keep their place

Follow every raven till we reach a different space
