In Your Shadow I Dwell Lyrics


Living in the endless darkness, I dwell amongst the sunless shadows. The blackened rot of decay expanding, poisoning my soul!

Slicing my wrists, I drink the crimson water, I drain my flesh until I'm cold. In the night, I'll fade away to moonlight, decaying my mortal soul. Eternal grey beckons me, slice away my prison, brutalise my being, turn me to ashes and destroy me for I am worthless, I am nothing but a failure, in your shadow I dwell! I dwell!

I dwell in guilt and failure! I dwell on violent hatred, I dwell with gloomy spirits, they devour my futile soul!

Bury me in odium and in a shroud made of thorns, leave my rotten body to decay! My putrid heart exploding with blackened bile, festering the impotent soil! My life was a prison of numbness, where shadows of hope corrupt and die!

Flowers! Flowers for your casket! Thorns! Thorns for your casket! Buried in sorrow, buried in grief, buried in the ashes of scripture!

Anxious and grim, you sowed these poison seeds! You watered them with my tears and watched as the blackened stalk corrupted my feeble flesh! Blackened blood leached by faded voids! The light is snuffed forever in shame!
