"SHADOWBORN" lyrics

I check myself 'cause I should be dead
The rings of flame still inside my head
The blue facade slowly turning red
Evil denizen

The life support's punctuated hum
Sit by your side for the day to come
The truth is black like obsidian
Seek a medicine

Get tough
Don't back out
Time to ditch your doubt
Gate crash
Don't you stop
Countdown to the drop

I just couldn't win
'Cause there was nothing I could ever change
So puny and thin
My body was a cage

But under the skin
I got so comfy on this bed of nails
Death always fails

Back to take the pain
To give you what you're begging for
Be my shadowborn
We're back to take the pain
My soul is indestructible
I steal you from the grave
So cursed to be a slave

There's a darkness I keep
That you can never see beyond
In the dungeons so deep
Down where the stars ain't ever shone
There's a distance between us
That you'll never overcome
In the deafening silence
When the day has come and gone

Calm before the storm
It's me they all are coming for
Be my shadowborn

We're back to take the pain
My soul is indestructible
I steal you from the grave
So cursed to be a slave

There's a darkness I keep
That you can never see beyond
In the dungeons so deep
Down where the stars ain't ever shone
There's a distance between us
That you'll never overcome
In the deafening silence
When the day has come and gone
