Slugdown - Creeping Menace Lyrics

Whispers in the shadows crawl unseen
The weight of time a force that's keen
A ticking clock against which there's no remedy
Every thought every breath brings us closer to death
Every shadow creeps in as silence slowly grows
Time unravels within
Fear spreads through the air
The creeping menace is coming to town tonight
Bring your kids to sleep
The creeping silence is waking you up tonight
It shapes us, it twists us, it redefines and fists us
Where god can't see
There is no second chance, you'll bound to lose all that's precious to you, so just hold it tight
In fear's embrace
It breaks us, betrays us, it stumps and recreates us
Until we're gone
You now will make your choice, go try and fight it, or give up and accept your faith
And leave this world behind, unwounded by its thorns
Fight the fading light, it may borrow you time
Is it worth after all to resist the call
Or try to find peace in the quiet fall
Ash and dust remains
The creeping menace has consumed your soul tonight
Lay your hopes to rest
The creeping silence has took what was left of it
This menace, not an enemy to fight
An unpleasant truth to face and to remind us
Every moment we lose is one we never had
The only choice is how we live in the fleeting grip of creeping menace
