In The Shadows

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.

I cannot get up by the howling cry

Just justify my longing to die

Bury me down at last

I think about it in the shadows and cry

Can scissors heal a man torn of tears

A fading I fear inside

The reaper in sheet will stand by me

I'm dreaming, I'm wearing a black dress that night

I'm just a being tonight

And still I'm dressed so black, oh yeah

Maybe I'm just blind

But maybe I should try

Can't you see why the vision is calling you?

I got the one, the dream of horror

Dreams of blood, dreams of war

Rudest eyes have seen the fright

Welcome to the eternal night

You won't be a butcher

No, you won't be at last

Somebody's the trigger

Take it off

What, you are the priest's son? So fuck

So fuck yourself and die

Sill I stand against the death

Am I just a shade?

Always I'm awake and in black

Sill I dare to praise the lord

No I won't pass to the lord

Goodbye, no

So the keeper waits upon

He waits upon a border

Let me own your punishment

It's time to break the border

The candlelight fades away

There's nothing at all but me (classical part)

I stare at death and the darkest one's

Watching me with cold eyes

A god has been with me in the shadows

I lost my reason to hate! Ya!

(So it's right)

(I can leave the shadows!)

(The last one has to survive!)

Yaww

Wow, right

With my light shining bright

I got my way, to regret? (just my hearts)

With my last dying ryhme I got my world

To betray for what I did by my motherfucking heart

The shadows draw back into honesty and love

Obey, and it will cut your throat

I can't speak and you shant be the next,

The shadows strike in your blame, yaw
