🎵 Too Late for Truth - #dark #folk #darkwave #horrorstories

Verse 1
I watched her tears, I felt her pain
The story she told, the storm, the rain
The town believed, we lit the flame
To cleanse the guilt, to erase the shame

In the crowd, we stood as one
A broken truth, a loaded gun
But now the silence haunts the air
'Cause we can’t undo what happened there

Pre-Chorus
And I hear his name in every cry
In every shadow passing by
We thought we were protecting her
But now it's too late for the truth to stir

Chorus
We hanged a man for a lie she told
Before she confessed, the blood ran cold
I wish I knew before the rope was tied
Now I carry this weight inside
Too late for truth, too late for tears
We gave in to our darkest fears
The flames are gone, but the guilt remains
We hanged a man... and can't erase the chains

Verse 2
The whispers now, they cut like glass
How we were wrong, how quick we passed
The chance to see the other side
Before we let an innocent die

I can still hear his final breath
A quiet plea before his death
If only words could take us back
Before we followed down this track

Pre-Chorus
And I see his face in every dream
The truth unraveling at the seams
Her voice a shadow in my mind
But now it's too late to rewind

Chorus
We hanged a man for a lie she told
Before she confessed, the blood ran cold
I wish I knew before the rope was tied
Now I carry this weight inside
Too late for truth, too late for tears
We gave in to our darkest fears
The flames are gone, but the guilt remains
We hanged a man... and can't erase the chains

Bridge
How do you live with what you’ve done?
When justice burned beneath the sun
The truth was there, just out of sight
But we chose the dark, not the light

Now every night, I hear the sound
Of his last breath falling to the ground
The lies we held, the truth we lost
And now we all must bear the cost

Chorus (Final)
We hanged a man for a lie she told
Before she confessed, the blood ran cold
I wish I knew before the rope was tied
Now I carry this weight inside
Too late for truth, too late for tears
We gave in to our darkest fears
The flames are gone, but the guilt remains
We hanged a man... and can’t erase the chains

[Outro]
Too late for truth... too late for truth...
We can't erase... the chains...
