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?
