The shadows they follow until they swallow you whole

Extinct the light and welcome the dark

Distinguish the shapes amongst the dark

I can barely see but I can feel the shadows calling to me

It’s like being isolated in a narrow room

Locked from inside no possibility to escape or move

All I can do is live with them and wait until I can be free again

There’s no way I can escape

Their whispers crawling down my neck

Tempting me to join the darkness

Trapped in my mind I can't escape

Facing a version of myself that I hate

All these dark thoughts led me to them

Tainted souls, leader of my inner hell

Dragging me to the gate

Leaning to temptation

Embracing my enemy

Their touch feel like blades

Stabbing through my flesh

Chained, I am now their prisoner

Without them so incomplete

And when they're gone I cannot be

Can no longer live in denial

No guilt no shame

Ready to give myself to the darkness

They're standing here looking down on me

Ready to drag me to a nightmare

Feeding from my sins using me as a vessel

The gate will open leading me to the ultimate crossing

The shadows and I will become one mighty being

Accepting the suffering will guide me to endless power

I'll paint my eyes with the falling ashes from the sky

Without them so incomplete

And when they're gone I cannot be

Can no longer live in denial

No guilt no shame

Ready to give myself to the darkness

Sleep

Evermore dream

In the darkness

Promises of peace if I cease to breath

Suspended from my own gallows

Specters of failures creep out from the black

Expose the shadow that I’ve become

The light needn’t seek me

I’ll suffocate alone in the gloom
