Shadow of guilt ft. Udio Lyrics

Trudgin' on a reckless path

Where sins are stones, and pain is math

Beneath the sky so bleak and vast

Grapple with the deeds of past

What if the truth we bend and twist?

Upon our necks, consequences insist

Walkin' through the fire

Tread with guilt so high

A shadow looms within

The conscience never lies

What if we keep fallin' down?

What if we don't make it right?

But we keep fightin' through the night

Our knuckles bleed, our hearts contrite

Some actions cut just like a knife

Scars remind us of our strife

Tangled in a web of lies

Tryin' to reach salvation's light

Led by whispers, lured by vice

Galvanized by our own device

Echos of the hurt we've dealt

In the silence, penance is felt

In the mirror, a sinner's face

Each line a story, each scar a trace

Carryin' on, this burden, it weighs

A mountain of regret that never decays

Reflections of the past, they haunt like a ghost

In a chamber of echoes, we pay the cost

What if we drown in this sorrowful sea?

What if redemption's too far out of reach?

Draggin' chains of vice and vice

Heavy load, that's the price

In a world so cold and defied

Lost souls where hope has died

Yeah, they come to snuff the rooster, oh yeah

Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah

But the rooster crows at break of light

Signaling the morning, endin' night

The gunfire fades, the echoes clear

In the dawn, face what we fear

Can we stand tall, face our own reflection?

Can we unchain from self-deception?
