Shadows of the past

Wake up in a dreamless night
Cold Sweat makes me wanna shiver
Shadow on my soul
I was struck and stiff with fright
Then my body starts to quiver

My body starts to quiver

In that night I won't forget
I took a glimpse right into hell
Fire makes me burn
I was tied in my own bed
Could not release the angry yell

Asking for forgiveness – yet I can't forgive myself
It rips my body in two – get me out of this place

Shadows of the past – leave me be
Longing for peace and salvation
God please set me free

Shadows – shadows – shadows on my soul

Dark skies never lifted – wrongs never turned out right
Coldness around my neck – how long I'll have to fight

Buried in a shallow grave
Never ever meet my demons again
Buried without a prayer
But in life's ensuing battles
Their shadows will remain

Asking for forgiveness...

Shadows of the past – leave me be
Longing for peace and salvation
God please set me free
