In realms where shadows dance with light
Beneath the moon's enchanting might
There lies a question, wild, untamed
Echoing softly, "What is pain"
It's the thorn amidst the rose
The symphony where discord flows
A kaleidoscope of shattered dreams
In rivers filled with silent screams
It's the phoenix in its fiery flight
Burning bright against the night
A prism casting fractured light
In the depths of the soul's twilight
So let us wander, hand in hand
Through valleys of the shifting sand
Embrace the shadows, face the flame
And ask ourselves, "What is pain"
