In Shadows Deep

Verse 1: When midnight falls and light doth cease, The silence reigns, though ne'er at peace. The ticking clock doth mark thy plight, As shadows stir within the night. (Alas, what fate awaits thee?) Pre-Chorus: Footsteps whisper 'gainst the wall (creep), Thy heart doth quicken at their call (fear). They haunt thy steps with cruel intent, In this dark realm where hope is spent. (Beware, for they are near...) Chorus: In shadows deep (deep), Where dread and darkness intertwine (bind). Thou art ensnared in their wicked play (play), Where light and solace fade away (vanish). (O merciful heavens, shield me...) Verse 2: The corridors stretch, endless and cold, In this desolate place, thy story’s told. Their eyes do gleam with wicked mirth, In this dread-filled realm of dearth. (Flee, ere it be too late!) Bridge: The quiet breaks with distant cries (fright), Thy breath doth falter in the night (cold). The shadows close, thy doom draws nigh, In this wretched game, wherefore dost thou sigh? (Lo, the darkness cometh...) Guitar Solo: (A mournful guitar solo, reflecting the sorrow and despair) Final Chorus: In shadows deep (deep), Where dread and darkness intertwine (bind). Thou art ensnared in their wicked play (play), Where light and solace fade away (vanish). (O wretched fate, must I endure?) Outro: The clock doth tick as light grows pale (dim), Thou art lost within this direful whim (gloom). As the night doth close around thee (tight), Thou art doomed to shadows' might. (Alas, I am undone...)
