Lyrics for In The Shadows

I cannot get up by the howling cry Just justify my longing to die Bury me down at last I think about it in the shadows and cry Can scissors heal a man torn of tears? A fading I fear inside The reaper in sheet will stand by me I'm dreaming, I'm wearing a black dress that night I'm just a being tonight And still I'm dressed so black (Oh, yeah) Maybe I'm just blind Maybe I should try Can't you see why the vision is calling you? I got the one, the dream of horror Dreams of blood, dreams of war Rudest eyes have seen the fright Welcome to the eternal night You won't be a butcher No, you won't be at last Somebody's the trigger, take it off! What, you are the priest's son? Fuck So fuck yourself and die! Still I stand against the death Am I just a shade? Always I'm awake and in black Still I dare to praise the lord No, I won't pass to the lord Goodbye, oh, no! So the keeper waits upon He waits upon a border Let me own your punishment It's time to break the border The Candlelight fades away There's nothing at all but me I stare at death and the darkest one's Watching me with cold eyes A god has been with me in the shadows I lost my reason to hate! So it's right,can leave the shadows The last one has to survive With my light shining bright I got my way to regret forget what's hurt's my heart With my last dying rhyme I got my world To betray for what I did by my motherfucking heart The shadows draw back into honesty and love Obey, and it will cut your throat I can't speak and you shan't be the next The shadows strike in your blame, yeah!
