Behind the marble halls, there's a story untold
In shadows where the truth is kept away
The whispers of the past, they echo in the cold
But only some are shown, the rest are led astray

We walk through the doors believing what we see
But the secrets lie deeper than the eye can reach
What's chosen to be shown, what's buried out of sight
Curated by the powerful who controls the light

What's hidden in the shadows, what's locked behind the glass?
The stories that they silence, the pieces of the past
We're only given fragments, the rest they choose to hide
The voices that they bury, the ones they push aside

What's hidden in the shadows?
What's hidden in the shadows?

A precious artifact, taken far from home
A relic of the empire's long crusade
Its beauty on display, but its history unknown
The hands that took it never will be paid

We walk through the doors believing what we see
But the secrets lie deeper than the eye can reach
What's chosen to be shown, what's buried out of sight
Curated by the powerful who controls the light

What's hidden in the shadows, what's locked behind the glass?
The stories that they silence, the pieces of the past
We're only given fragments, the rest they choose to hide
The voices that they bury, the ones they push aside

What's hidden in the shadows?
What's hidden in the shadows?

They say it's all for knowledge, to preserve what's lost
But behind closed doors, there's always a cost
The artifacts forgotten, the ones they never show
They're part of our history, but will we ever know?

What's hidden in the shadows, what's locked behind the glass?
The stories that they silence, the pieces of the past
We're only given fragments, the rest they choose to hide
The voices that they bury, the ones they push aside

What's hidden in the shadows?
What's hidden in the shadows?

So walk through the halls, but don't forget to see
The truth lies in the darkness where we hold the key
What's hidden in the shadows?

What's hidden in the shadows?
