Shield 歌词

Absorbed in the deceit I feel the axiom depart I've seen the crushing hands of karma Tear lives apart Sit and lament As I descend I find no solace in the lies that I've built And I repent To circumvent Made no bones about the wounds that I've left I swear I've tried But the guilt is eating me alive A recurring throe To plunge me deep below When I've fallen When the pain comes I will be braced for the worst So here's hoping You're my saviour I bear the burdens of the earth Controlling every lucid moment No sign of respite I slip beneath the conscious mind I swear I've tried But the guilt is eating me alive A reoccurring throe To plunge me deep below When I've fallen When the pain comes I will be braced for the worst So here's hoping You're my saviour I bear the burdens of the earth I'll shield the darkness from you I swallow the burdens And on these imperfections I dwell Entomb me in this self-constructed hell Penance
