SHADOWS FALL LYRICS

1. In Effigy


You will never give the power
To the powerless
Your ideal has grown
Far beyond your control

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes

Can you imagine what is only
One step away?
The potential is waiting
Just beyond your grasp

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can you keep fighting on and on?

This false me will burn
In effigy
This false me will burn
In effigy

It's so easy to relax
And watch from afar
It's so easy to give in
To this complacence

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes


2. Will To Rebuild


Unleashed upon the shores (rain of terror)
The latent power unveiled
A cruel reminder (of our weakness)
Of our vulnerability
We will rebuild
We will rise
We will rebuild
We will survive
Survive
Inner strength will always (never falter)
Overpower your neglect
Turn your back on us (the abandoned)
And we will rise alone
Stranded and forgotten
A blind eye turns away
Another failure for the fool
Submerge the image
The spirit shines through the deepest of waters


3. Haunting Me Endlessly


Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself in ignorance
Blocking out the sun, turning in the breeze
Hung high above in a noose of sympathy
What has become?
The seeds I've sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself in ignorance
What has become?
The seeds I've sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Thy will be done
All I've been shown
Is still haunting me endlessly
Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Through the souls of ages
This deceitful elevation
Collapsing into rages
From corrupted meditations
Indulge in the pleasures of the fallen
Give yourself away


4. Seize The Calm


The shimmer of understanding
Grasping to maintain
The cold touch of chaos
Are you in control?
On the edge, how did it come to this?
As we stare into the abyss
This world will only be
A pleasant lie or bitter truth
Somewhere buried deep within
Is a light that forever shines
On the edge, how did it come to this?
As we stare into the abyss
On the edge, on the precipice
As we stare into the abyss
Seize the calm
It holds more than life
Fading
Falling
Weightless and shameless


5. Carpal Tunnel


Spit your words with fury
Tear your way beneath the skin
Infecting with doubt
A useless web you spin
What is it you hope to gain from this?
Nothing
What is it you hope to prove with this?
Nothing
Hidden away from view
You start your fires
The child who became king
Of the jackals and the liars
Breaking you fingers
Silence your voice
Breaking your fingers
You've made your choice
Words cannot be weapons
If they leave no mark
Pathetic attack
With no bite and all bark


6. Going, Going, Gone


Smashing, always forward
Leave nothing in your path
Shortsighted and indifferent
To what lies ahead
Reckless abandon (chasing your tail)
Blinding ambition (you learn to fail)
Winning a race
No one else began
No rest for the wicked
Winter calls again
Crawling, gagging (chasing your tail)
Battered, bleeding (you learn to fail)
Rip it up and tear it out
It weighs heavy on my soul
Confront the stranger
Staring back at you
Twisted reflection
In the looking glass
Tear it out
How could you let it fall?
The strain of climb leaves you empty


7. Deadworld


Drowning yourself in a world of lies
Wandering lost, until the ego dies
Perceptions been tainted by your lack of free will
We have become what we once most feared
The brilliance of the light's been dulled to grey
Denying our souls of the most noble truths
Trapped within and blind by youth
We must end this wicked game
Mourning a dead world
Empty life of relentless shame
Mourning a dead world
See through what's been taught to you
Mourning a dead world
Breathe in life and seek the truth
Mourning a dead world
As progress paves the forest and paints the sky
Cities rise like caner, rive of life is dry
Spirits of ancients will then awake a rise
The seal is broken, final sign of our demise
Awake and rise
Redemption fires
Burn the lies
Redemption fire


8. This Is My Own




9. December


[Only Living Witness Cover]

(In the) Darkened shroud of morning
Simplified in face and stature
Blessing in the storming
Sweetness of a subtle feature
Alone and safe inside
Without worry, with out knowing who's
Been cast aside
Twisted down, escape to rest
I will writhe in my December
These crafted understandings
Smother citadel defending
They'll miss a motive is cast together
(The) comfort, effort in the end
Alone and safe inside
Without worry
Who's been kept alive
Without knowing
Learned, learned I love the air here
And I learned, learned I love the roar in my ears
I satiate this urge of mine; I substitute the urge to hide
Alone, alone and safe inside


10. Mark Of The Squealer


[originally by Leeway]

Sat down confessed it with a full report
Dashed it out but he couldn't take it
Had to drop dime, through a partner in crime
Got away without serving his time

Snitches get stiches
The thread on your cheek must itch
Snitches get stiches
You got yours you son of a bitch

The mark of the squealer
Too soft to be the dealer
And nothing can heal you
Mark of the squealer
The mark of the squeal

I'm out on a mission
To catch a stool pigeon


11. Teasn', Pleasn'


[originally by Dangerous Toys]

Wake up my lover, shaker her off like a stick
Hung over, tired and shaky, head two feet thick
Half past noon I got up out of bed
Ran to the freezer to cool off my head

Now I see the vision, seeing is believing

Teas'n, pleas'n, run for the door
Teas'n, pleas'n, she wants more

Woke up again in a stranger's bed
Heard her honey's voice, I knew I was dead
Lovers under the covers, shakin' in the shock
Blink of my eyes, been stabbed, hung or shot
Any kind of reason, feelin' for the feelin'

Teas'n, pleas'n, run for the door
Teas'n, pleas'n, she wants more
Teas'n, pleas'n, yeah, give the dog a bone
Teas'n, pleas'n, roll over baby, hang up the phone

Gee, Mister, I didn't know she was your wife
Hey, a-let's just shake on it and call it even eh!
Man, I think I got the wrong house

I don't even make my rules
That's why I'm usually the fool
I never even had no school yeah!
Hey sugar! Don't ya think I'm cool!
