Shadows

 

 

Frail Humanity knocks at my window,

 

Outside there’s a cold wind, rustling with a contemptuous grin.

 

And it calls out my name from it’s hanging shadow,

Corruption fills my mind, my innocence is strained.

My hands are trembling and I feel frozen like an icicle.

 

 

Chorus:

 

I am so week at the knees

I am so scared of myself.

 

 

Standing in a graveyard, shackled to the ground.

 

With glowing eyes, they dance circles around me

 

Oh, Keep your distance I don’t want any part of you

 

My fears control me, and my strength will defeat me.

 

 

Chorus.

 

 

There’s a shadow at my doorway,

 

Arms outstretched and evil eyes, and a murderous grin.

 

They’re threatening my dreams, they’re cradling me to sleep.

 

Oh, please God, save me

 

My heart is so weak. Just leave alone, You are my sin.

 

 

Chorus.
