Shadow Dancers

Intro (V) (Sound of a single, slow heartbeat) Verse 1 (RM) In this maze of "Fake Lights," where's the path I crave? Every footprint in the sand is a question, no salvation. The world screams your name, but the echo's distorted. How many masks must I crush just to see my own face? This is the price of waking up, dancing all alone. Don't search for the map, baby, you are the compass. Pre-Chorus 1 (V & Jin) V: We were just cold stars, unfamiliar with the heat. Counting steps in the twilight, before the new day's dawn. Chorus (All - Explosion) ALL: We are the Shadow Dancers! Born again from the ashes. We don't look for the sky, we are the ones who build it. Raise your voice! Even if the world tries to mute us. Jungkook: This is our day, this is our fire! Jimin (Sustained High Note): We're gonna fly now! Oh-oh-ooh! Verse 2 (Suga) They preach: "Stay small, keep quiet, stay in line." I scream: "Light the fuse, let them inherit the crime!" Every shackle they tried to put on me was a lie. I have more than seven dreams, and they're all defined. We aren't just music, we're a living, breathing statement. Yeah, we pushed the boundaries, and we're still moving further! Pre-Chorus 2 (J-Hope) Lift your head! Don't let the old fear possess you. That light you see is not illusion, it is your freedom! We breathe in a hurricane, our stance is the protest. Chorus (All - Full Power) ALL: We are the Shadow Dancers! Born again from the ashes. We don't look for the sky, we are the ones who build it. Raise your voice! Even if the world tries to mute us. Jungkook: This is our day, this is our fire! Jin (Powerful High Note/Belt): We're gonna fly now! Oh-oh-ooh! Bridge (Jimin & RM) Jimin: Remember those nights, holding our hearts in our hands? Searching for a place to belong, an answer that never came. RM: But we found out that home isn't a location. Home is this resonance that connects us. This is me. A complex mix of weakness and strength. Love Yourself. That's our eternal doctrine. Post-Bridge (J-Hope) Time to break the ceiling! We write the rules now! Final Chorus (All - Climactic) ALL: We are the Shadow Dancers! We don't look for the sky, we are the ones who build it! (Ad-libs) Outro (All) Suga: Keep moving! (Yeah!) Jungkook: We're flying high! RM: (Whispered) We are forever young... (Finishes with a final, deep drum hit)
