Lyrics
Shield
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.
Absorbed in the deceit
I feel the axiom depart
I've seen the crushing hands of karma
Tear lives apart
Sit and lament
As I descend
I find no solace in the lies that I've built
And I repent
To circumvent
Made no bones about the wounds that I've left
I swear I've tried
But the guilt is eating me alive
A recurring throe
To plunge me deep below
When I've fallen
When the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping
You're my saviour
I bear the burdens of the earth
Controlling every lucid moment
No sign of respite
I slip beneath the conscious mind
I swear I've tried
But the guilt is eating me alive
A reoccurring throe
To plunge me deep below
When I've fallen
When the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping
You're my saviour
I bear the burdens of the earth
I'll shield the darkness from you
I swallow the burdens
And on these imperfections I dwell
Entomb me in this self-constructed hell
Penance
