The Shadows Draw In
The world closes in; it’s so close in here
The light grows dim, I’m full of fear
Please help me love, before I fade
Don’t leave me love, not this afraid
Circling shades that rip and tear, flesh is flayed and heart laid bare
Crawled towards hands dripping blood; all that’s left is the place you stood
Oh so cold that empty ground, as the shades descend with awful sound
The banshee screams of tortured souls, were given pause by this death toll
Circling shades found no life blood; all that’s left is the place I stood
There now stands a shadow thin, lost to life and the love within
Hearts don’t scar or fix or mend; they just cease to beat at loves end
The world closes in; it’s so close in here
The light grows dim, I’m full of fear
Please help me love, before I fade
Don’t leave me love, not this afraid
This shadow man rules these shades, the flock of pain out on parade
A guiding dark that kills the light, saving from the blinding sight
Where true love burns so hot and bright, the circling shades come to fight
Drawn to blood to hurt to pain, the suffering of true love insane
This shadow man’s endless foe, with teeth and claws he doth know
He leads his kith his pain filled kin, through the light, the burning sin
The circling shades of oily black, all are souls with no way back
The world closes in; it’s so close in here
The light grows dim, I’m full of fear
Please help me love, before I fade
Don’t leave me love, not this afraid
The heart in him that ceased to beat, an obsidian rock full of heat
A black fire burns deep with in, a fire to forge weapons to win
The endless war against a foe, more deadly than you can ever know
With flesh a flayed and heart of rock, he will endure, he will not stop
The enemy made a true nemesis, when it gave to him that fateful kiss
Locked together in endless duel, shadow and light their respective fuel
A heat from hell burning bright, wrapped with shadows in endless fight
The world closes in; it’s so close in here
The light grows dim, I’m full of fear
Please help me love, before I fade
Don’t leave me love, not this afraid
