Garden of Shadows

[Verse] Twilight in the roses wilting shadows cast long Sweat on this brow days gone so wrong Cold beer in hand oh the labor ticking by Heart beats its final note under the blood-red sky [Verse 2] Garden whispers secrets past haunting roots deep Life’s regrets echoes in the soil he’ll never keep Tattered boots on earth once fertile now forlorn Echoes in the wind the mortal coil torn [Chorus] Oh the heart stops in the garden of shadows Life slips away in those dying meadows Sip the beer taste the fleeting mist In the garden of shadows where he ceased to exist [Verse 3] Petals fall like memories lost in time’s cold hand Reflections of youth fading to dust barren land Hands once strong now trembling frail Heart gives out under life's weighty trail [Bridge] Sinister synth deep pulse of night Fading breaths under the starlight Visions of a past he can't outrun Monument of earth work never done [Chorus] Oh the heart stops in the garden of shadows Life slips away in those dying meadows Sip the beer taste the fleeting mist In the garden of shadows where he ceased to exist
