In shadows eternal

In shadows... eternal
Waiting for death
Years of waste
Have rotted my life away
Now at life's end
Regret stabs my heart
Tears now have meaning
Oh God, take this pain away
Death is so close now
I feel its shadow fall
Upon my shattered soul
I must not surrender
As I rot here alone
I reach for the midnight sky
And pray for God to release me
From the prison that's become of my mind
And for this one moment I feel free
From this pain I've known all my life
Now I know I must return to the shadows
For the ones I left there to die
I stand but not alone
Against this world of hate
That's ripped my heart to shreds
No pain can touch me now
A holy fire will cleanse
My scarred and blackened soul
A white wolf emerges
Slaughtering black sheep
Embrace your emptiness
Crawl into the dark
From God you cannot hide
Just rot and wait to die
