Kneeling In The Shadows

 [Verse 1]  

I"m kneeling  

Sweating  

Washes away  

All my efforts say  

Are in disarray  

[Verse 2]  

Where all my ambitions are gone  

All my desires run aground  

All my hopes are all alone  

All my wishes are unbound  

[Chorus]  

Now, I"m gone  

My spirit fades away  

My passion’s just a whisper  

Lost in the emptiness of day  

[Interlude]  

My sweat is not a shade  

My tiredness begins to fade  

My prayers feel so long dead  

My longing for you, now misled  

[Bridge]  

I don’t blame you  

Your tears pierced my heart  

The weight crushes my mind  

Turning courage into art  

Being pushed and pulled apart  

[Outro]  

But I’ll rise from this despair  

Every moment, I’ll repair  

From the shadows, I’ll reclaim  

What once was lost, I’ll ignite the flame

Lost in The Shadow

 [Verse]  

I"m kneeling  

Sweating  

Washes away  

All my efforts say  

Are in disarray  

[Chorus]  

Where have all my ambitions gone?  

All my desires run aground,  

All my hopes, they’re all alone,  

All my dreams feel unbound.  

[Verse 2]  

Now, I"m gone,  

My spirit lost in passion,  

Replaced by emptiness,  

And the void of life"s distraction.  

[Bridge]  

My sweat is not a shade,  

My weary heart has started to fade.  

My prayers feel long dead,  

My yearning for you is a thread,  

Betrayed by what"s illusion and ahead.  

[Pre-Chorus]  

I don"t blame you,  

Your tears stabbed my heart.  

The weight crushes my head  

And turns me into a coward,  

Being hated and pushed forward.  

[Outro]  

In the quiet of my sorrow,  

I search for a brighter tomorrow.  

Though the shadows loom large,  

I"ll find a way to take charge.  

[Interlude]  

As the night whispers softly,  

I embrace the silence, hope is my key.  

Fading echoes of what once was,  

In this dark, I’ll seek my cause.  

[Chorus]  

Where have all my ambitions gone?  

All my desires run aground,  

All my hopes, they’re all alone,  

All my dreams feel unbound.  

[Verse 3]  

But within the depths of despair,  

A flicker ignites, a spark in the air.  

I gather my strength, rise from the fall,  

In the whispers of night, I hear my call.

Ambition Lost

 

[Verse]  

I"m kneeling  

Sweating  

Washes away  

All my efforts say  

Are in disarray  

[Chorus]  

Where have all my ambitions gone?  

All my desires run aground,  

All my hopes, they’re all alone,  

All my dreams feel unbound.  

[Verse 2]  

Now, I"m gone,  

My spirit lost in passion,  

Replaced by emptiness,  

And the void of life"s distraction.  

[Bridge]  

My sweat is not a shade,  

My weary heart has started to fade.  

My prayers feel long dead,  

My yearning for you is a thread,  

Betrayed by what"s illusion and ahead.  

[Pre-Chorus]  

I don"t blame you,  

Your tears stabbed my heart.  

The weight crushes my head  

And turns me into a coward,  

Being hated and pushed forward.  

[Outro]  

In the quiet of my sorrow,  

I search for a brighter tomorrow.  

Though the shadows loom large,  

I"ll find a way to take charge.  

[Interlude]  

As the night whispers softly,  

I embrace the silence, hope is my key.  

Fading echoes of what once was,  

In this dark, I’ll seek my cause.  

[Chorus]  

Where have all my ambitions gone?  

All my desires run aground,  

All my hopes, they’re all alone,  

All my dreams feel unbound.  

[Verse 3]  

But within the depths of despair,  

A flicker ignites, a spark in the air.  

I gather my strength, rise from the fall,  

In the whispers of night, I hear my call.  

[Verse 4]  

Through the trials that confine,  

I’ll break these chains, reclaim what"s mine.  

With every heartbeat, I’ll stand and fight,  

And chase the dawn with all my might.

Eternal Melody

 [Verse]  

For so long, time has been linked  

Accompanying every joyful and melodious note  

Millions of melodious bouncing songs  

Even though my voice is not as loud as your tinkling  

I don"t feel how many times I have changed your strings  

[Chorus]  

Loyalty accompanies joy and sorrow  

Patching all the wounds with the  

noisy tone of your presence filling the niches of the soul  

The tumult of longing scrapes away the pain  

[Bridge]  

Now, as time goes by, you and my fragility  

Everything becomes one  

Eternal song that will not pass  

[Verse 2]  

Fingers keep dancing  

Leaving traces of the rhythm undying  

From G back to G  

The span of octaves stretches the nerves  

Until the soul repents  

Mocking the spirit that is weary  

[Interlude]  

Each heartbeat resonates like a drum  

In harmony, we merge, becoming one  

Words unspoken caught in the air  

As melodies weave our timeless prayer  

[Chorus]  

Loyalty accompanies joy and sorrow  

Patching all the wounds with the  

noisy tone of your presence filling the niches of the soul  

The tumult of longing scrapes away the pain  

[Outro]  

In the silent moments, we find our sound  

An everlasting echo in this sacred ground  

Together we rise, as the stars align  

In this endless dance, your heart beats with mine

Setitik Doa

 [Verse]  

Hati berdesir  

Tak tahu apa yang bisa dilakukan  

Malam-malam berlalu tanpa terlelap  

Hari-hari terasa panjang dan menyiksa  

Bergetar, berkelindan bayangan  

Gambaran senyumnya, sayatan isak tangisnya  

[Chorus]  

Rasuki akal sehat dan kewarasan jiwa  

Aku terjatuh, aku terluka  

Tidak karena kecewa, namun rindu yang syahdu  

Seperti sembilu, ingin menguliti batin ini  

[Verse 2]  

Tersiksa, meraba kenangan sekejap bersamanya  

Sebagai awal untuk hidup bersama selamanya  

Terasa berat beban ini, tak mampu hadapi sendiri  

Tak bisa melangkah dengan setengah hati  

[Bridge]  

Sakit rindu ini merajam nurani,  

Pedih rindu ini menyayat jiwa  

Tuhan tolonglah, biarkan kami bersama  

[Pre-Chorus]  

Bantu kami meraih ridho-Mu,  

Berikan bahtera yang utuh  

Untuk arungi misteri-Mu  

[Interlude]  

Arungi titian demi titian  

Dari waktu ke waktu  

Dari semenanjung cinta  

Hingga pelabuhan maut  

[Chorus]  

Tuhan terangilah jalanku  

Meraih dia di ujung sana  

Agar ku bisa tunaikan  

Tugas sebagai manusia sempurna  

[Outro]  

Berikanlah setitik keagungan-Mu  

Agar terpancar kasih lewat makhluk-Mu  

Biarkan hati ini berdesir penuh cinta  

Satu langkah lebih dekat menuju bahagia.

PERCUMA

 

[Verse]  

Aku bersimpuh  

Menadah peluh yang membasuh  

Sia-sia jerih payah ku selama ini  

Percuma segala perjuanganku sejauh ini  

[Chorus]  

Dimana semua cita-cita pupus  

Semua keinginan kandas  

Semua harapan musnah  

Semua keinginan hanya semu belaka  

[Verse 2]  

Kini  

Hilang sudah semangatku  

Hilang gairahku  

Berganti kosong dan hampanya hidup sebagai lelaki  

[Bridge]  

Peluhku tak jadi teduh  

Lelahku tak jadi indah  

Doaku tak jadi nyata  

Rinduku tak jadi menuju  

[Pre-Chorus]  

Keringatku tak jadi semangat  

Kerjaku tak jadi nyata  

Dahagaku dan laparku sia-sia belaka  

[Outro]  

Aku tak menyalahkanmu  

Hatiku menuntut sikapku  

Airmatamu menikam jantungku  

Tak kuasa beban menghimpit  

Dan merubahku menjadi sosok pengecut  

[Interlude]  

Dalam kesunyian malam  

Harapan mulai memudar  

Namun di ujung jalan ini  

Kan ada cahaya yang bersinar.
