Lyrics
Shadowlit Facade
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.
Develop every aspect
enchance its foetal form
distort for the purpose of another aim
For you shall know me
see why in shadows I hide
Lest be thy own defeat
Contence refined
Truth might falter
give up your vows
update the aura
of the shadowlit facade
Pinned down to your defences
by the struggle for one others awe
Content in loneliness
For the dawn shall cast no shadow
from your monolith of lies
descend from the delusion of degradation and despair
For the one that reaps good fortune
on the cost of all good faith
Suffering must lead him on
amidst his loneliness
For the one who speaks besides his tongue
shall learn all is not good and fair
All in vain - the search that never ends
Action, reaction
still no words come clear
in denial of the constant change
Unbegun, undenial, unforseen by thee
the words underneath the shelter be
Spare me.
