Version 2
Verse 1:
Wither comes the storm at night,
A breathless chill that dims the light.
Its shadow creeps through spine and bone,
A force unseen, yet cold as stone.
Wither the laughter, soft and bright,
It fades away beneath the fright.
Wither the courage, once so bold,
Now shrinking small as shadows fold.
Pre-Chorus:
Wither Skeleton’s hollow stare,
A warning floating in the air.
Wither Rose beneath my feet,
It blossoms where the darkness meets.
Chorus:
Wither me, but I won’t fall,
Take it all, take it all.
In the ruin, life will grow,
In the wither’s wake, I’ll glow.
Verse 2:
Wither the trees that once stood tall,
Their leaves now dust before the fall.
The fields are barren, turned to gray,
The wither takes and none can stay.
Wither the heart that dared to fight,
It falters in the dying light.
Wither the dream, the silent plea,
It trembles on the edge of me.
Pre-Chorus:
Wither Skeleton’s hollow stare,
A warning floating in the air.
Wither Rose beneath my feet,
It blossoms where the dark and light meet.
Chorus:
Wither me, but I won’t fall,
Take it all, take it all.
In the ruin, life will grow,
In the wither’s wake, I’ll glow.
Bridge:
The storm will pass, the skies will clear,
The wither fades, but I’m still here.
From ash and bone, I’ll rise again,
New strength will grow from where I’ve been.
Wither’s grip may choke and bind,
But it cannot kill what’s in my mind.
Chorus (x2):
Wither me, but I won’t fall,
Take it all, take it all.
In the ruin, life will grow,
In the wither’s wake, I’ll glow.
Outro:
Wither the past, wither the pain,
But still my roots, they will remain.
