A flash, as the sky cracks
The light rips asunder the black
Teeth gnashed
And gods wept
As a new sun
Rose in the west
Strike life’s blood from the air
While a tired, dying world stands and stares
Now only shadows remain (2x)
Crawl
As the ground turns to glass
Some hold
Shadowed walls as they gasp
Fight for life or fall on your blade
Vision blinds, and consciousness fades
Now only shadows remain (2x)
Taking their light, what gives you the right
Taking the light, what gives you the right
Taking their light, what gives you the right
Shadows will remain (5x)
In the sky, a flash paints their ire
Keeps me from life, an arrogant desire
With their prisons of lies, judging me
Now death, fire, and hell
Taking their light, what gives you the right
Taking the light, what gives you the right
Taking their light, what gives you the right
Shadows will remain (3x)
Fall, burning and dazed
As the fire courses inside of our veins
The shadows embossed on their graves
So now only silence remains
Only silence remains
Taking their light, what gives you the right
Taking the light, what gives you the right
Taking their light, what gives you the right
