[Verse 1] Darkness falls, the shadows creep, Across the lands, the pain runs deep. Countries burn with flames of hate, East and West, a dire state. Blood flows, the ground is red, Fields of sorrow, filled with dead.

[Pre-Chorus] Look upon this world so torn, Extinguish fires where hope is born. Dispel the clouds, reveal the light, Let peace shine bright, end this night.

[Chorus] Shine through the darkness, break the chains, Let the light of peace erase the pain. From the depths of war, let love arise, Unite the hearts, open the skies.

[Verse 2] Draw us up from hatred’s sea, From this dark, set us free. Unite our hearts, make them bright, With the dawn of peace and light. End the bloodshed, end the fight, Guide us to a future bright.

[Pre-Chorus] Look upon this world so torn, Extinguish fires where hope is born. Dispel the clouds, reveal the light, Let peace shine bright, end this night.

[Chorus] Shine through the darkness, break the chains, Let the light of peace erase the pain. From the depths of war, let love arise, Unite the hearts, open the skies.

[Bridge] Wars have raged, and lands laid bare, In anguish, we search for care. Hearts are heavy, souls in grief, In your light, we find relief.

[Chorus] Shine through the darkness, break the chains, Let the light of peace erase the pain. From the depths of war, let love arise, Unite the hearts, open the skies.

[Outro] In this world of pain and tears, Guide us through the endless fears. Shine through the darkness, show the way, Let the light of peace lead our day. Shine through the darkness, break the chains, Let the light of peace erase the pain.
