Who They Are

Yo Flo you there? It's Shuvi on the line Heard some crazy whispers got me feelin' kinda blind San Paro's streets man they're hummin' with the dread Something in the shadows got me losin' sleep in bed I've been hearing tales from east to west it's all the same A force or a figure unseen unheard playing dangerous games People vanishing no trace no clue it's insane Flo' get to the bottom of this no time to explain Shuvi slow it down what you tryin' to convey? These streets are always talkin' but what they tryna say? Nah this ain't no joke somethin' dark and foul Like a storm that's brewin' in the depths it's on the prowl Alright I'm listenin' what's the word on the street? Who's makin' all this noise who we 'bout to meet? They say it's somethin' lethal a ghost with no name Gatherin' power playin' a dangerous game Shuvi if it's real we gotta be prepared Arm up stay sharp can't afford to be scared We've seen it all before but this feels like more A threat risin' up from the deepest core Yeah Flo I know but this ain't just hype Heard from a source that ain't the gossip type They say it's somethin' ancient a power reborn A nightmare awakin' with the break of dawn Head down to the corners where the hustlers play The fog's the thickest there that's what they say Find the old man at the bar the one with the scar He knows the tale Flo he'll tell you who they are But Flo be careful this ain't just any task The city's worst 'hoods in the shadows they bask But I trust in your skill you're sharp and you're bold Find the core of this mess let the story unfold I'm in the darkness treadin' silent streets San Paro's veins pulse the dread discreet Rain drips heavy washes grime to the drain Lights flicker weakly as shadows entertain Echoes of whispers like ghosts in the mist Unclear screams and moans twisting in the abyss In every corner shadows stretch and creep Eyes in the dark watch as I tread deep Faces turn away lips sealed tight Questions hang unanswered swallowed by the night Deeper I descend into the city's black heart A labyrinth of despair where hope falls apart Thinkin' 'bout Fallène how she'd walk this And sharp cutting through like wrath But all I see are mirages her form in the haze Tricks of the darkness my mind it betrays Scared? Yeah it's creeping but I bury it deep San Paro's dark visage its secrets I reap Poverty and decay a landscape of pain In this realm of shadows only the ruthless remain No laws to hold just a jungle of strife Survival of the fittest in this darkened life Each step a gamble each breath a test In this city of shadows there's no time to rest Streetlights flicker casting ominous gleams Each alley a nightmare each turn a bad dream Cobblestones slick with the filth and the rain Echoes of despair the city's refrain Graffiti on the walls a language of pain Tales of the lost and ghosts that remain Faces in shadows hollow and cold Stories of darkness in silence told Every lead I follow turns into smoke Questions meet silence my patience provoked Deeper in the maze hope begins to fray But I push through the shadows won't be led astray Thinkin' 'bout Fallène her streetsavvy flair Navigating darkness without a care But here I am in this void all alone Facing San Paro's heart of stone Her reflection haunts me her voice in the air But it's all illusion I'm caught in a snare The city's whispers playin' tricks on my mind In San Paro's abyss clarity's hard to find Finally I find my informer a face from the past His eyes wide with terror his breath coming fast He mutters a name with a tremor of fear "Zeno" he says and the darkness draws near Chills down my spine breath locked in my chest Time stands still anxiety impressed An evil laugh echoes from the shadows it mocks Feeding on my fear the city's dread unlocks Reach for my phone but the signal is dead Raise my gaze up my informer's fled Lost in the dark with the shadows I merge San Paro's secrets like a dirge they surge Panic sets in can't shake this dread Every street turn feels like I'm being led Into the abyss no way out in sight San Paro's darkness consumes the light Eyes in the shadows always on my trail A city of nightmares where sanity's frail Voices whisper secrets but they twist and lie In this web of deceit I'm left high and dry Faces in the mist their eyes hollow and stark Lost souls wandering swallowed by the dark No escape from this maze no end to the night In San Paro's depths there's no wrong or right Fear grips my heart my breath comes short In this game of shadows I'm just a sport Zeno's name lingers a curse in the air In this city of darkness despair everywhere No signal no contact just the void and the rain In San Paro's grip I'm shackled by chains The darkness closes in no light to be found In this heart of despair I'm forever b
