From the Shadows

WE DWELL IN THE SHADOWS
BUT HOPE EXISTS WITHIN THESE WALLS
YES, WE DREAD TOMORROW
THERE’S STILL A FIGHT LEFT IN US ALL

SO WE WALK THIS DYING ROAD
ALL OUR STORIES WILL BE TOLD
WE WILL BE HEARD ONCE AGAIN

THOUGH BLEAK AND DESPERATE
WE THRIVE, WE SURVIVE
WE CARRY ON AND CLAIM THE BURDEN
IT’S A SIGN THAT WE’RE ALIVE

FED LIES AS IF A FULL COURSE MEAL
IT IS HELL THAT WE TASTE
WE ARE PAWNS IN A CUTTHROAT GAME
IN THE END– THE UNNAMED

WHEN EVERY DAY IS A MARCH TO THE END
WE ALL HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE
IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE WE PUT AN END TO THE ABUSE

HAVE YOU HAD A DANCE WITH DEPRESSION?
HAVE YOU PREDICTED THE END?
ARE YOU PREPARED TO LOSE WHAT YOU LOVE
FOR WHAT YOU’VE SWORN TO DEFEND

IS IT ME OR YOU WHO’S DESERVING
TO BE HANDED THIS PREDICAMENT
WHY ARE WE THE ONES WHO’RE HURTING
YET UNNAMED IN THE END

AND FROM THE SHADOWS WE REAPPEAR
YES WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE
IT’S TOO LATE TO STOP THIS FORCE
THAT RUNS ON ANGER AND FEAR

SO WE WALK THIS DYING ROAD
ALL OUR STORIES WILL BE TOLD
WE WILL BE HEARD ONCE AGAIN

THOUGH BLEAK AND DESPERATE
WE THRIVE, WE SURVIVE
WE CARRY ON AND CLAIM THE BURDEN
IT’S A SIGN THAT WE’RE ALIVE

FED LIES AS IF A FULL COURSE MEAL
IT IS HELL THAT WE TASTE
WE ARE PAWNS IN A CUTTHROAT GAME
IN THE END– THE UNNAMED
