Broken Shell Songtext
von Cryptic Echoes

Fresh and bold, breaking down in the shadow of despair
Silent screams, the only sound echoed through the toxic air
Rust and rot, skin and steel, what′s real, what's concealed
Hate and grace, a cruel deal, in this world we′re healed

In this broken shell we decay, life fades and slips away
Each breath, a fleeting trace of the saint we once displayed
In this broken shell we remain, bound by endless pain
In the darkness we are chained, to the echoes of our pain

Fades of glass, brittle soul, crumbling with every step
Time corrodes, takes its toll, in this wasteland we're bereft
Rust and rot, skin and steel, what's real, what′s concealed
Hate and grace, a cruel deal, in this world we′re healed


In this broken shell we decay, life fades and slips away
Each breath, a fleeting trace of the saint we once displayed
In this broken shell we remain, bound by endless pain
In the darkness we are chained, to the echoes of our pain

Eyes that once held light, now dimmed by the passing time
Hope consumed by blight, lost in the endless rhyme
Rust and rot, skin and steel, what's real, what′s concealed
Hate and grace, a cruel deal, in this world we're healed

In this broken shell we decay, life fades and slips away
Each breath, a fleeting trace of the saint we once displayed
In this broken shell we remain, bound by endless pain
In the darkness we are chained, to the echoes of our pain

Eyes that once held light, now dimmed by the passing time
Hope consumed by blight, lost in the endless grime
Rust and rot, skin and steel, what′s real, what's concealed
Hate and grace, a cruel deal, in this world we′re healed

Lost in the endless rhyme
Rust and rot, skin and steel, what's real, what's concealed
Hate and grace, a cruel deal, in this world we′re healed
