Lyrics:
Ou my shadow’s been drifting away, so cold and falling away
and all the echoes are pulling me down, through dark and breaking decay
I wandered deep in the thrawling way, now living in coldest embrace of dark
I felt the weight of the hollowed path, still carried by shadows that wander my skin
I was born from the breaking of silence
felt the fall of the gathering night
In the heart of the sorrow I see you
by the lake of the sorrow I fight
Echoes keep pulling me downward
but still I survive the fall
Winter can bury my heartbeat
I rise from the dark
The fading daylight is slipping away, so pale and burning away
and all the tremors are pulling me through, to depths where shadows decay
I walked the edge of a breaking dream, still carried by shadows that wander my skin
I hold the breath of the dying sun, now sinking through shadows
all pulling me in
Echoes keep pulling me downward
but still I survive the fall
Winter can bury my heartbeat
I rise from the dark
I was born from the breaking of silence
felt the fall of the gathering night
In the heart of the sorrow I see you
by the lake of the sorrow I fight
When all that I carry collapses in me, and leaves every shadow within
The last of my grieving lies burning below
When all that I carry collapses in me, and leaves every shadow within
The last of my grieving lies burning below, beneath my blue-faded skin
beneath my blue-faded skin
