Lyrics
City Of Shadow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is your own fucking fate
Listen up if you want to live
Keep calm, hold your breath
Act like you don't give a fuck
Stay low, don't be seen
Just follow my lead, as we enter
The city of shadow
You are trapped inside a dimension
Of your suffering
As the dark abyss surrounds you
Let go of reality
The outside of these walls
Will never be seen by you
No one can save you
Who would come save you now?
I will make you fear me and you'll see
Why they speak so highly of me
Won't go back to where you came from
Never free, I've got you now
So prepare for suffering
(Prepare for suffering)
Now bow down to your king!
You will never flee
So stop trying
No one will ever hear you screaming
You will never be
Anything to me
So drop to your knees
And beg to your king
I'll tell you only once, so be listening
This city is made for imprisoning
Don't you understand why you are here?
Now keep in mind that it's me that you'll fear
Was it worth it?
Don't ever fucking disobey
It's too late your death awaits
You chose your own fucking fate
I will make you fear me
And you'll see
Why they speak so highly of me
Won't go back to where you came from
Never free, I've got you now
So prepare for suffering
(Prepare for suffering)
Now bow down to your king
You will never flee
So stop trying
No one will ever hear you screaming
You will never be
Anything to me
So drop to your knees
And beg to your king
Bow to your king!
Bow to your king!
Bow. To. Your. King!
