These shades of gray are the essence of night They're the definition, I'll make your life Darkness and fright... your last cry Withstand my deadly grip Survivor of tyrants... survivor of emptiness... survivor of lies Your soul will die for me I'll take your wildest dreams I'll take your everything I'll be your resurrection, your annihilation I feel the day has come, it's come... for the end to rise One pain, one sin, one humiliation for this degradation We march in darkness... In desperation... In vital creation Son... burn my eyes, wake me from the dead Eternal whirlwind of sorrow I faced your hate and found nothing to repair the emptiness in you The life you want so much, this hollow sky that rots This world will swallow you whole and spit you out so cold Leaving you with nothing serene and nothing to die for Break the cycle of wanting all that is out of reach You want this far too much, temptation's endless trap, for a dying breed These shades of gray are the essence of night They're the definition, I'll make your life Darkness and fright... your last cry Withstand my deadly grip Survivor of tyrants... survivor of emptiness... survivor of lies Your soul will die for me In words of desperation Your cries are never heard In Words Of Desperation You sell your spirit to me
