My shadows, they fly
Upon this dusty road
My sorrows, they soar
Above the streetlights
They dance all alone, the immortal presence
They ride high above, our consciousness
They have raised
So I'm afraid, afraid
Of where the whip will fall
Upon one of us
Oh, upon one of us
My sins they speak
Upon the ink of my skin
My date of birth
Was my first to commit
They lurk behind you, even in the light
It's an ever pressing fear, that's our kryptonite
They have raised
So I'm afraid, afraid
Of where the whip will fall
Upon one of us
Am I the only one who can see beyond
The pitter patter of what life's become?
It's out there, the end of us
I can feel it coming, the whip's strike its lust
The exquisite poison of life's their bait
Just one little sip will conclude your fate
They have raised
So I'm afraid, afraid
Of where the whip will fall
Upon one of us
