lyrics

Wipe your tears away
Force your heart to stay
All the dreams you had
They will burn away

You still hear its steps
You still feel its breath
You know that behind
There's your death

There's a wind that follows you today
Blowing, so cold
Feel your shell crumbling away
Falling, like stone

Dragging through the bones in the way
Piercing, your skin
Like a demon for you to slay
Prowling close behind

All my life
This shadow followed me
For all time
It won't go away, won't fade away

All my life
This shadow followed me
For all time
I won't go away, won't fade away

I won't fade away!

I won't ever throw this chance away
It won't break me
Even when withering away
I won't obey

All my life
This shadow will follow me
For all time
It won't go away, won't fade away

All my life
This shadow followed me
For all time
I won't go away, won't fade away

Bring me to my knees again
You won't ever keep me here
You can't cage me with your pain
I'm not who I used to be

Bring me to my darkest state
I'm breaking away again
You won't fill me with your hate
My heart, it is not the same

I am on my knees again
I'll rise, to where I belong
I won't ever be the same
Sometimes the weak become the strong

I am in my darkest state
Breaking out on my own
You won't fill me with your hate
Sometimes the weak become the strong
