Only got Shadows

Only got shadows by my side,

Satan talks back, words collide

Regret’s my anchor, can't divide,

But I rise, I rise, I rise, defied

Shadows creeping, whisper my name,

Pitch black mirror, reflections insane

Puppets on strings, marionette in pain,

Silent screams in the wind, razor-blade rain

Crows on the wire, they sing in decay,

Midnight oil burns, dripping ash in the fray

Staring at the moon, but the moon stares away,

Satan in my ear, but he got nothin’ to say

Only got shadows by my side,

Satan talks back, words collide

Regret’s my anchor, can't divide,

But I rise, I rise, I rise, defied

Fangs in the dark, venom in veins,

Heartbeat thumps, drumline of chains

Crypts in my chest, emotions detained,

Every step forward, footprints blood-stained

The void hugs tight, whispers deceit,

Lies taste sweet, bitter pills repeat

Wolves circle close, I hear their feat,

But my howl’s louder, their game’s obsolete

Only got shadows by my side,

Satan talks back, words collide

Regret’s my anchor, can't divide,

But I rise, I rise, I rise, defied

Knuckles crack, fists meet the sky,

Born in the depths, but I still aim high

Bones in the closet, they laugh, they cry,

But I dance on the graves, kiss the past goodbye

Only got shadows by my side,

Satan talks back, words collide

Regret’s my anchor, can't divide,

But I rise, I rise, I rise, defied
