Shadows creep where the lamppost fell
Night thick, darker than a coffin bell
Moon cracked as a shattered smile
Steps echo like ghosts in the aisle
Tides rise in the city of sins Where the
streets got teeth and they sink in skin
Shadow tides,
they pull me under Heart beats heavy,
crack like thunder
Can't escape,
no the dark won't hide Drowning slow in the shadow tide
Smoke curls,
whispers from the alley's throat Dreams sink quick,
can't keep em afloat
Coins drop, payments exist, so
so cheap Devil's always grinning
Windows glare with their hollow
eyes Every
door's a portal, every lock tells lies
Breath fogs up in the freezing haze
Time slows down in the city's maze
Blood runs cold where the shadows glide
A kingdom built on the fear inside
Shadow tides,
they pull me under Heart beats heavy,
crack like thunder
Can't escape,
no the dark won't hide Drowning slow in the shadow tide
Tides rise but I stand still The void looks back and it bends my will
Clock ticks faint but the rhythm won't
die I'm a shadow now in the shadow tide
