Descend The Shades Of Night
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.
Sitting in the empty black
The last slivers of dusk have passed
Accept the dawn to ease the fear
One day I will not be here
Death she comes and with her thread
Upon me ties a mask for dead
Its tears of blood begin to seep
And bleed the sky
Descend the shades of night
Death shines her golden light
Across a blackened sky
All our hate is a product of a world...
We created
Ashen clouds obscure my brain
Doubts begin to turn to shame
Insecureness tears at bliss
I hate me for this weakness
Faith drives me to carry on
And take the road less travelled on
Resentment swallowed means to drown
The poison down
The shades of night descend
Descend the shades of night
Death shines her golden light
Across a blackened sky
All our hate is a product of a world...
We created
Scream with me
Bleed with me
Seethe with me
Sing with me
Free me
Free me
Free me
Descend the shades of night
Death shines her golden light
Across a blackened sky
The shades of night descend
