Shade of the Darker Sun Lyrics

I will betray the world
but not my own kin
I sway the water away
cut my hand and bleed

Today, everyday I see the clarity fade
shrouded by the thoughts of doubt

I have all the world on my shoulders
but none of the riches they bear
And I’ll die for my sins
the sins the world made for me

Ripping the canvas of law and virtue
with my rusted blade
When the stars align
and my dreams become true

Salvation in flesh
let the blades cut deeper
Curse this world and its own child
who I once were

Today, everyday I see the clarity fade
shrouded by the thoughts of doubt

I hide the words we say
and cry for the cadence
And I keep looking for words
to petrify, to fill the silence

I have all the world on my shoulders
but none of the riches they bear
An oeuvre as dark as my soul
as I live under the shade of the darker sun

I am my own god, I need no one else
to find the truth
Did I choose to die
or choose what they did for me?
