(Verse 1)
Now I'm just walkin'
into the night...
This world's grown so cold
without the light.
I'm all alone,
there's nobody here,
no hand to hold,
I'm subdued by fear.
Just a fading shade
of my former grace,
that's what I've become
in this desolate place.
Darkness consumes me,
my call of distress
falls on deaf ears
into the darkness...
(screamed) I AM...
(Chorus)
Lost in the realm of nightmares...
who really cares
if I see tomorrow?
No sunny days, just rain
and eternal pain,
endless sorrow!
Now I see where I went wrong,
it was there all along,
so I beg forgiveness.
Now I've got just one last shot,
gotta give all I've got...
I'll burn through the darkness!
(Verse 2)
No fireflies
lighting my path...
The end has come,
the aftermath
burns through my soul
like the dark flame
of my hatred,
my masking shame.
You created
such a horrid beast.
Have you no remorse?
Regret at least?
You cannot shape me,
why even bother?
You morphed yourself,
you're the monster!
(screamed) I AM!
(Chorus)
(Bridge, spoken)
You see the signs now.
Your reign has ended.
My sight has returned,
visions completed.
I shall not fear you,
I will remain strong.
You can't restrain me,
so this won't take long.
Your strength is waining,
you can hardly fight.
Your fall is nearing,
your fleeting twilight...
You know I'll prevail,
you've nowhere to retreat.
Now it's your nightmare,
your ultimate defeat!
(Verse 3)
You call me a madman
and you condemn me
though you created
everything I see.
This is my nightmare,
my reality...
You're the architect,
so can you foresee
all that is coming,
what shall transpire?
You say you know me,
you're such a liar!
You rejected my love
and my forgiveness,
so now I'll force you
into the darkness...
(screamed) YOU'LL BE!
(Chorus)x2
Author notes
This is my first song for my band, Shadows of Society. It would sound better if I were singing it with the boys to back me up, but I hope you'll all enjoy it all the same.
