Lyrics
The Devouring
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.
As I watch in vain
I lay beside you
Stare into your eyes
But I only see your shadow
You have become
Lifeless inside
Stripped away
Your fires gone
As I watch you die
I stand beside you
Skin runs cold
But I only see your shadow
Slowly devouring you
But I'm resisting
I refuse to be
Put down by you
Or chained to sorrow
Nothing remains
For you to take
I know my mind
Is clear no doubt at all
As I watch in vain
I lay beside you
Stare into your eyes
But I only see your shadow
Slowly devouring you
But I'm resisting
I refuse to be
Put down by you
Or chained to sorrow
