Song Lyrics: Shadows Fall
So this is supposed to be a really fast-paced song. I actually spent a lot really thinking of how I wanted this to be. I think this is one of my better ones? It can still use some work, but I'd like to think I did a really good job on this one
<slow>
I look out... Into the darkness....
I look out, my light burning bright...
It's fading now, glowing away...
My hope... My strength... My plight....
<fast>
Like my trust, like my hope, like my will,
Like the last light of day,
It's all fading away, as I stare at light
On this window sill
-- I close my eyes, I transcend,
Becoming this light, I pretend
Shimmering away, my tears down I cry
I cry out and ask myself, "Why!"
I erupt, I explode, a supernova, I flare out
Letting all of my feelings flow as I look on out,
Pretending to be this light, something bright, that I see--
It's all fading to darkness and misery!
Clouded and covered, by others looming still,
Darkness pulsing, through me I feel
I charge on, towards ano-ther sun--
My final stride has begun!
I can't take this anymore, don't you see?
Your judgments, your hatred, your malice, your spite--
Feeding my misery!
It's all darkness, all shadows, all that I fear!
How am I supposed to make it, out here?!
The shadows swarm in; they close me off!
It's choking, I'm reaching, but they bring me down!
I'm trying to shine on, my will, my hope, my all!
Please, won't you see what you're doing?!
Before I fall?!
It's fading now, glowing away...
My hope... My strength... My plight....
Shimmering away, my tears down I cry
I cry out and ask myself, "Why!"
I charge on, towards ano-ther sun--
My final stride has begun!
It's all darkness, all shadows, all that I fear!
How am I supposed to make it, out here?!
Please, won't you see what you're doing?!
Before I fall?!
