In The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death

Dressed in black, waiting by someone’s grave

A misrepresented individual that no one gave

Any reason to breathe, no chance to speak

To communicate the pressure of what they see

Live through these words if you can relate

To feeling overwhelmed by what it takes

To make it in this world, to live, to please

Anyone around you, in this society

Who am I, I’m just a mortal man

A project for the living, I am damned

Called to save the wicked, this is what I am

A project for the living, I am damned

Turned away by love, I’ve been led to this

Death has been there waiting with a kiss

Death’s open arms are cold, but they’re still there

I get locked in a stare, cold as I am, I’m still aware

That this is a passing phase will never suffice

Cause living among the damned has it’s price

So never second guess if I ever really cared

I’ve sold my soul to the devil to keep you prepared

Who am I, I’m just a mortal man

A project for the living, I am damned

Called to save the wicked, this is what I am

A project for the living, I am damned

Don’t look at me like I’m a prophet

Don’t cling on to me for my words

I’m just a mortal, a common man and I

Will meet my fate when it is my time

Who am I, I’m just a mortal man

A project for the living, I am damned

Called to save the wicked, this is what I am

A project for the living, I am damned

I cling to the darkness more each passing day

‘Cause sooner or later everything will fade

As death greets me warm, i long for change

Cause my music and my sadness are one in the same

(I’m in the valley of the shadow of death)

Weakness sets in as I cling to each passing breath

(I’m in the valley of the shadow of death)

Second guessing if I’m ready for what comes next

(I’m in the valley of the shadow of death)

Clinging to what could be my final breath

(I’m in the valley of the shadow of death)

Clinging to what could be my final breath
