Cursed by the Shadows
(Heavy Metal Song)
[Intro]
The shadows whisper, they call my name,
Bound by darkness, eternal shame.
[Verse 1]
The night consumes, the sun won't rise,
A veil of black clouds my eyes.
Every step I take, they follow near,
Their whispers feed on my deepest fear.
No mercy comes, no peace is won,
The curse began, and the fight is done.
I hear their laughter, I feel their claws,
Trapped forever in shadow's jaws.
[Pre-Chorus]
The chains of fate are cold and tight,
Bound to darkness, robbed of light.
No hope, no dawn, no savior's hand,
Forever cursed by the shadow's command.
[Chorus]
Cursed by the shadows, they tear at my soul,
Dragging me deeper into the cold.
No escape, no way to break free,
The shadows are everything inside of me.
They own my life, they'll take my breath,
Cursed by the shadows-my life is death!
[Verse 2]
Every scream is swallowed whole,
By the darkness that claims my soul.
I reach for light, it turns to stone,
The shadows feast-I'm left alone.
I begged for freedom, they laughed in my face,
A pawn to darkness, a shattered disgrace.
No mercy, no solace, just endless night,
Bound to the shadows, no end in sight.
[Pre-Chorus]
The chains of fate are cold and tight,
Bound to darkness, robbed of light.
No hope, no dawn, no savior's hand,
Forever cursed by the shadow's command.
[Chorus]
Cursed by the shadows, they tear at my soul,
Dragging me deeper into the cold.
No escape, no way to break free,
The shadows are everything inside of me.
They own my life, they'll take my breath,
Cursed by the shadows-my life is death!
[Bridge]
They creep inside, they steal my mind,
Their hunger grows, I'm out of time.
I cannot fight, I cannot run,
The shadows rise, the war is won!
[Chorus]
Cursed by the shadows, they tear at my soul,
Dragging me deeper into the cold.
No escape, no way to break free,
The shadows are everything inside of me.
They own my life, they'll take my breath,
Cursed by the shadows-my life is death!
[Outro]
In the shadows, I'll forever dwell,
A cursed soul in an endless hell.
