Conversations with the Shadow

from The Outstretched Arms of Damnation by Sworn Vengeance

/

lyrics

Watching as my life
Slowly passes by
Feeling prisoner to the void
A black cold shadow
Envelops my beating heart
The discouraging winds of failure
Pass through my bones
As the night rips clean of its chamber
My cold skin freezes my breath
Feeling the effects of war and defeat
I sink lower and lower still
Escape would be a godsend
But I lack the courage to set my soul free
I would give anything to look up from coffin walls
And see a tombstone above my skull
The peaceful sleep of eternity
To have a conversation
With the shadow itself
As my blood is drained of misery and strife
Forgotten once the world of the damned
This would be the perfect dream
A happy ending for a broken man
The blessed curse of a rotting virtue
The awakening of truth
An existence begging for the end
Of all this torment
The sum of my parts
Will never amount to anything
This loathing I can’t destroy
My own self-destruction
Occurred so long ago
As the shadow rips clean of its prison
My cold skin signals my death
Feeling the effects of age and decay
I sink lower and lower still
Escape will never happen
But I lack the courage to let my life go
I would give anything
To seal this tomb
There’s nothing left to live for
Watching as my life hangs by a thread
Feeling emptiness in my soul
A black cold shadow
Envelops my dying heart
The time has arrived
To surrender to this world
As death stands by
