[Intro: Cole Cyphert]

Fear lies in wait

A specter adorned in uncertainty

Its eyes glinting like distant stars

Beckoning with the dance of the unknown


[Verse 1: Hal Cimko]

In the silence, fear whispers low

An echoing pulse beneath the skin

Creeping softly like the night’s embrace

The mind a maze where shadows play

Colors fade and give way to doubt

Each corner turned, the heart races like sin

Beneath the surfacе, a storm brews slow

Thoughts like phantoms swirl and spin

In the dеpths where nightmares trace

A flicker of hope, a fragile ray

But the grip of darkness tightens its clout

And the light feels far from within

In the night, the winds begin to blow

Carrying portents of what has been


[Chorus: Hal Cimko, Cole Cyphert & Both ]

( Ooh-ooh ) Each gust a threat in cunning disguise

The familiar becomes strange , a cruel ballet

Every sound magnified, an anxious shout

Revealing fears we hoped to pin

Yet in each quiver, the strength we sow


[Verse 2: Zeddo Man]

Though the heart may shatter, the spirit will grow

Learning resilience built within

For fear is but a veil we face

A tempest that swings, a lowly play

Yet beyond the storm’s eye, beyond the drought

A dawn emerges, patient and thin

So when the darkness seeks to overthrow

And the claws of panic begin to thin

We gather the pieces, stand tall in the fray

Turning fear into strength in this fierce ballet

For we are the light in shadows’ account

Learning to dance where we once would just spin


[Chorus: Hal Cimko, Cole Cyphert , Both & Zeddo Man ]

( Ooh-ooh ) Each gust a threat in cunning disguise

The familiar becomes strange , a cruel ballet

Every sound magnified, an anxious shout ( Yeah, uh, uh )

Revealing fears we hoped to pin

Yet in each quiver, the strength we sow


[Outro: Cole Cyphert]

Ayy-ayy, oh, oh, oh

Fear lingers softly (Oh-woah-oh, oh, oh)

The clock ticks on (Ticks on, ticks on, ticks on, and on)

The clock ticks on (Ticks on, ticks on, ticks on, and on)

Oh-woah, ooh-ooh (Hmm, hmm-hmm)

In dreams, it weaves a tapestry of dread

Each thread a moment suspended in time

Unraveled secrets hidden in the mind (Ticks on, ticks on, ticks on, and on)

Echoes resonating upon the walls (Ticks on, ticks on, ticks on, and on)

Oh-woah, ooh-ooh (Hmm, hmm-hmm)

The clock ticks on (Ticks on, ticks on, ticks on, and on)

The clock ticks on (Ticks on, ticks on, ticks on, and on, hmm)
