Shadow
Innocence betrayed, lightness did fade
The scent of weakness in the tormenting shade
Crawling through corpses to find my own
The dampness of the blood-leaving me alone
Surrender in the perishing day
My heart so full of childish play
A puppet-alone- lost in the harvesting light
Seeing my pain dancing- my ballerina of the night
My flesh upon broken glass-striving for life
Mirror, mirror my portrait seen through the knife
Screaming silence, calling me awake
To die in myself for insanitys sake
Crescent moonlight, a tear down its eye
The shadow- my darkness- sheltering this lie
Imprisoned reality-my only cell
Tears flow from my eyes-this lonely hell
To embrace the shadow-reflecting my fall
To dance with my shadow, beside this old wall
A sea of rage comes endulging me in
Knowing all of my secrets-and all of my sin
Angel of the night, flies high above here
My immortal shadow, wiping my tear
Caressing my sorrow, Im alone with guilt
Engraving my name to the towers Ive built.
