The Shadows Draw In

The world closes in; it’s so close in here The light grows dim, I’m full of fear Please help me love, before I fade Don’t leave me love, not this afraid Circling shades that rip and tear, flesh is flayed and heart laid bare Crawled towards hands dripping blood; all that’s left is the place you stood Oh so cold that empty ground, as the shades descend with awful sound The banshee screams of tortured souls, were given pause by this death toll Circling shades found no life blood; all that’s left is the place I stood There now stands a shadow thin, lost to life and the love within Hearts don’t scar or fix or mend; they just cease to beat at loves end The world closes in; it’s so close in here The light grows dim, I’m full of fear Please help me love, before I fade Don’t leave me love, not this afraid This shadow man rules these shades, the flock of pain out on parade A guiding dark that kills the light, saving from the blinding sight Where true love burns so hot and bright, the circling shades come to fight Drawn to blood to hurt to pain, the suffering of true love insane This shadow man’s endless foe, with teeth and claws he doth know He leads his kith his pain filled kin, through the light, the burning sin The circling shades of oily black, all are souls with no way back The world closes in; it’s so close in here The light grows dim, I’m full of fear Please help me love, before I fade Don’t leave me love, not this afraid The heart in him that ceased to beat, an obsidian rock full of heat A black fire burns deep with in, a fire to forge weapons to win The endless war against a foe, more deadly than you can ever know With flesh a flayed and heart of rock, he will endure, he will not stop The enemy made a true nemesis, when it gave to him that fateful kiss Locked together in endless duel, shadow and light their respective fuel A heat from hell burning bright, wrapped with shadows in endless fight The world closes in; it’s so close in here The light grows dim, I’m full of fear Please help me love, before I fade Don’t leave me love, not this afraid
