"Shape Of Sorrow" lyrics

In the hollow of the night, I've found a face in stone
It whispered all the memories that time has overthrown
Its eyes were forged in silence, its mouth was shaped in grief
It breathed into my shadow and tore the soul beneath

I saw the hands of morning reach out, then fade away
They touched the edge of mercy and drowned in shades of gray
Each wound became a chapel, each tear a solemn vow
And sorrow learned to speak through me, and I still don't know how

The shape of sorrow lies in me
It's all I know, it's all I see
The shape of sorrow takes control
And carves its name into my soul

The rivers turned to silver, reflections lost their faith
The ghosts of all my failures still haunt this fragile wraith
The crown of dust I carry grows heavy in the rain
Yet through its weight, I've learned the art, the art of endless pain

The shape of sorrow lies in me
It's all I know, it's all I see
The shape of sorrow takes control
And carves its name into my soul

And when the final dawn shall fall upon the sea
May sorrow stand in silence, a monument of me
Let shadows write the story that no one dares to claim
For in the shape of sorrow lies the ember and the flame

I touched the wound of ages, it trembled, cold and wise
It spoke in tongues of shadows beneath unending skies
The hourglass lay bleeding, its final grain denied
I felt the shape inside, it called without a name
And through the veil I came, becoming what remained
The shape of sorrow's face

The shape of sorrow lies in me
It's all I know, it's all I see
The shape of sorrow takes control
And carves its name into my soul

I stand where stone and shadow meet
A voice erupts, both wild and sweet
It cracks the night, it rends the skies
A scream that never dies
That never dies
That never dies
It spirals through the endless dark
It claws, it burns, it leaves its mark
Forever calling, lost, unknown
The shape of sorrow waits alone
