This shadow offers no protection

They seek retaliation

As I burst into pieces

To be fed to the vultures

O solipsist, why can you only see horror in what you portray?

You've created a picture that's unbearable to the eye

But what's the use of it?

To use every thought as a weapon

You could always look the other way

But then again, you are just that curious

(What do you say?)

(Tell me, tell me, tell me why)

Tell me something that would justify the wreckage

They took my voice as their own

As I'm left to rot in the unknown

Tell me why I must commit to a path so unclear

(Tell me how do I justify)

Dwell not on epiphanies

Dwell not in misery

So open the gates

For all that is and all that will be

My sight is consumed by all the horror

This shadow offers no protection

They seek retaliation

As I burst into pieces

To be fed to the vultures

I lost my faith in thee, O Almighty Darkness

The shadow in which I lay offers no protection

To abide under your wings brings but dismay

Don't deliver me for I'll deliver myself

A sense of liberation for those who dwell

They took my voice as their own

As I'm left to rot in the unknown

Tell me why I must commit to a path so unclear

(Tell me how I do justify)

Dwell not on epiphanies

Dwell not in misery
