Shadows of the Abyss

[Verse]
The moon hangs low in the inky sky
Whispers crawl where shadows lie
A crooked path where nightmares dwell
Every step leads closer to hell
[Chorus]
Shadows creep they pull me near
Breath of death whispers in my ear
Eyes unseen they watch they stare
A chilling grip hangs in the air
[Verse 2]
The trees they groan with ancient pain
Roots like veins in the earth remain
Echoes scream through the hollowed wood
I’d run away if I only could
[Bridge]
The ground it quakes the darkness feeds
A curse unleashed on wicked deeds
No escape from this endless night
Lost in the void no trace of light
[Chorus]
Shadows creep they pull me near
Breath of death whispers in my ear
Eyes unseen they watch they stare
A chilling grip hangs in the air
[Verse 3]
My heart beats fast it’s a frantic drum
The silence waits for what will come
A figure looms from the black abyss
It grins with teeth like a serpent’s hiss

dark, atmospheric, haunting
