Shadows Rise
[Verse 1]
We stand before the turning tides
Ideas are the blood of lies
No matter where you hide
They’ll catch and crucify
I plan my path to afterlife
Float through the depths of darkest light
You can’t see where you’ll turn
When you are just as blind

[Chorus]
So praise the son and the holy belief
My god has given up on me
Shadows rise and they bleed into night
A lonely heart at the edge of my reach
I cannot save enough to be in this fight
So I’ll leave it all behind

[Post-Chorus]
In the crimson sky
It's too late to organize
The armies and their guns
All we have is done

[Verse 2]
Oh mother tongue, please comfort me
The language I was born to speak
It’s just a dream but I believe
That I was born to make them see
[Chorus]
So praise the son and the holy belief
My god has given up on me
Shadows rise and they bleed into night
A lonely heart at the edge of my reach
I cannot save enough to be in this fight
So I’ll leave it all behind

[Bridge]
Ready to fall, ready to find what’s left
Now that we die, taking our final breath
And all the shadows kill the lights

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
So praise the son and the holy belief
My god has given up on me
Shadows rise and they bleed into night
A lonely heart at the edge of my reach
I cannot save enough to be in this fight
So I’ll leave it all behind
