Shadows Of The Living Lyrics

There's a weight in the air we're breathing

A silence that screams loud in the night

The echoes of dreams that we've abandoned

Are ghosts in the sure ever fading light

We're chasing a sun that won't ever rise

Blindfolded we march to the dancing flame

Bound by the chains of this mind dark illusion

All of our faces look one and the same

Shadows of the living

Dancing on despair

Misery's hymn singing

Requiem hung in air

Shadows of the living

Caged in endless gray

Darkness truth we're giving

Light withers away

Shadows of the living

Dancing on despair

Misery's hymn singing

Requiem hung in air

Shadows of the living

Caged in endless gray

Darkness truth we're giving

Light withers away

Clocks are masters that wont ever stop the ticking

Counting down fast what we've yet to lose

The colors of hope are surely bleeding

Leaving nothing but muted hues

Beneath the smiles that we wear behind like armor

Lies a battle that for sure we'll never win

Each breath is a wound we secretly hiding

Each heartbeat a song of our deepest sin

Shadows of the living

Dancing on despair

Misery's hymn singing

Requiem hung in air

Shadows of the living

Caged in endless gray

Darkness truth we're giving

Light withers away

Shadows of the living

Dancing on despair

Misery's hymn singing

Requiem hung in air

Shadows of the living

Caged in endless gray

Darkness truth we're giving

Light withers away

Our laughter is laced with a quiet dread

A masquerade for pain that we always hide

Ghosts of the past sleeping in our bed

Whispering dreams that already died

Clinging to the promises better tomorrow

Ignoring bumps and cracks in today's facade

Hope's a thin veil over borrowed sorrow

A fragile prayer to a silent god

Shadows of the living

Dancing on despair

Misery's hymn singing

Requiem hung in air

Shadows of the living

Caged in endless gray

Darkness truth we're giving

Light withers away

Shadows of the living

Dancing on despair

Misery's hymn singing

Requiem hung in air

Shadows of the living

Caged in endless gray

Darkness truth we're giving

Light withers away

There's no refuge ever in the arms of sleep

Only many labyrinths of endless fears

The darkness inside runs far too deep

Drowning us in the undried tears

The trees bear witness to silent despair

Their roots entwined with forgotten bones

We breathe the poison of a dying air

In a world that answers with hollow tones

Shadows of the living

Dancing on despair

Misery's hymn singing

Requiem hung in air

Shadows of the living

Caged in endless gray

Darkness truth we're giving

Light withers away
