In the stillness of night
The dark settles in
Engaging the shadow
For the nightmare within
A familiar song
Of an earthward psalm
Following my footprintsForgiveness is brutal
To those victimized
A blasting cacophony
In a world full of lies
Quieting the voice
Of laughter and joy
Until the point
That something dies.A will to deny
A will to survive
A will to strive
When things go awry
Some will will dieEmbrace the Shadow
In the absence of light
Let spirit guide you
When the stars misalign
These themes are eternal
To a timeless mind
Beyond the garden
Of earthly delightsBeyond the garden of earthly delights
Strange is the stranger
Who strangles the innocent
Leaving behind
The basis for discipline
For whom would decline
A soul intertwined
With Death, Desire and decadenceCrushed by a moment
When love betrays
The notion of unity
For perpetual change
Shattering the delusion
Attached with confusion
Of forever and a dayEmbrace the Shadow
In the absence of light
Let spirit guide you
When the stars misalign
These themes are eternal
To a timeless mind
Beyond the garden
Of earthly delightsBeyond the garden of earthly delights
