Survive the Night by Cordelia Cross

Verse 1

Cold wind bites through the shattered town

Footsteps echo, the darkness surrounds

Every alley whispers of decay

Hunger gnaws and fear won’t sway

I scavenge scraps in the fading light

A fragile spark in the endless night

Pre-Chorus

Craft my tools, hold my breath

Every heartbeat fights against death

Sanity frays with every scream

The world corrodes, devours the dream

Chorus

Survive the night, through shadow and pain

Face the horrors that stalk the rain

Each wave of terror, I stand alone

Fighting to claim a life of my own

Survive the night, when hope is thin

The darkness waits, but I won’t give in

One final breath, one stubborn fight

I hold my soul through the endless night

Verse 2

Walls drip with rot, the air is thick

Every corner hides the monsters’ trick

Broken glass and rusted steel

Every kill I make, I barely feel

The moon bleeds pale on the haunted streets

Every heartbeat matches their beats

Pre-Chorus

Craft my tools, hold my breath

Every heartbeat fights against death

Sanity frays with every scream

The world corrodes, devours the dream

Chorus

Survive the night, through shadow and pain

Face the horrors that stalk the rain

Each wave of terror, I stand alone

Fighting to claim a life of my own

Survive the night, when hope is thin

The darkness waits, but I won’t give in

One final breath, one stubborn fight

I hold my soul through the endless night

Bridge

The walls close in, the shadows breathe

I forge my strength from all I leave

Each crafted trap, each stolen light

Keeps the monsters at bay tonight

Final Chorus

Survive the night, through shadow and pain

Face the horrors that stalk the rain

Each wave of terror, I stand alone

Fighting to claim a life of my own

Survive the night, when hope is thin

The darkness waits, but I won’t give in

One final breath, one stubborn fight

I hold my soul through the endless night
