Lyrics

(Verse 1)
City in lights, neon signs all aglow,
Empty gaze drifts, where the fast cars go.
A smile is a mask, a crystalline chill,
Where are the feelings? Who stole them at will?
Yesterday's tales, on harsh life they're wrecked,
The soul has grown hollow, the mind is direct:
"Take what is yours, the world's cruel and so grim,
Love is illusion, an empty, weak whim."
(Chorus)
Cold hearts are beating, with gazes of stone,
Chasing the glitter, true worth is unknown.
The soul's locked away in a cage of fine things,
And love's echo's lost in the false words it brings.
Where is the spark that once kept us so warm?
Just the clink of the coins, a cold, bitter storm.
(Verse 2)
A calculated gesture, a carefully weighed word,
In their eyes, affection is merely a blur, unheard.
Men are just tools, empty ledgers they see,
And happiness measured by debt's hefty decree.
Forgotten the sunsets, forgotten the dawn's light,
Just brand name tags now, their new guiding sight.
No warmth in embraces, just silk's chilling fold,
And in their cold hearts, no tender love is told.
(Chorus)
Cold hearts are beating, with gazes of stone,
Chasing the glitter, true worth is unknown.
The soul's locked away in a cage of fine things,
And love's echo's lost in the false words it brings.
Where is the spark that once kept us so warm?
Just the clink of the coins, a cold, bitter storm.
(Bridge)
What broke you apart? Where did the fracture begin,
When compassion turned zero, no feeling within?
Who taught you this game with no rules to obey,
Where feelings are weakness, and profit holds sway?
(Chorus)
Cold hearts are beating, with gazes of stone,
Chasing the glitter, true worth is unknown.
The soul's locked away in a cage of fine things,
And love's echo's lost in the false words it brings.
Where is the spark that once kept us so warm?
Just the clink of the coins, a cold, bitter storm.
(Outro)
They walk through their lives, in contempt's harsh disguise,
Not seeing around them a glimmer of skies.
Cold hearts... Oh why do you treat yourselves so?
In a world where love is the truest light's glow.
