The Dark Table - Take me Instead Lyrics

The shadows crawl
The night feels thin
My world is breaking
Tearing from within
She's slipping away
And I'm losing control
I'll do anything
I'll give up my soul
I've begged the heavens
But silence is all I hear
Now I turn to darkness
Fueled by fear
I know where to go
I know who to call
To save her life
I'm willing to fall

Let the darkness swallow me whole
I've given up my very soul
For the deal I made
The life I bled
I chose this fate
No turning back
No second chance
I'm locked forever
Just take me instead

I stand at the crossroads
The night is so cold
The devil grins with eyes so bold
He says
Is it worth it? Do you know what's ahead
I don't hesitate
Take me instead

Take my soul
Drag me down
I'll wear the devil's twisted crown
I'll sign my name
I'll pay the toll
Let the fire consume my soul

He laughs in the darkness
His claws in my skin
Pulling me deeper
As I welcome him in
Her life for yours
And the pact is seal
I give myself away

Let the darkness swallow me whole
I've given up my very soul
I feel flames
Rise in my chest
I chose this fate
No turning back
No second chance
I'm locked forever
Just take me instead

Take my soul
Drag me down
I'll wear the devil's twisted crown
I'll sign my name
I'll pay the toll
Let the fire consume my soul
For the pact I've signed
For the blood I've shed
Oh, take me instead
Take me instead
Take me instead
Oh, take me instead
