Shadow Oath Songtext
von Cyndr

Hands high
Neck bare
Be brave for me
Good girl

I walk where the lamplight dies at your door
Ancient as sin with a hunger for more
Ink on my hands and a scar on my soul
I learned to make darkness a way to console

Your breath writes yes though your lips say no
So I turn the room night and listen it glow

I′m the shadow that shields and the blade that will bite
Soft on your throat and a storm in the fight
Call me a monster I'll answer with grace
Gentle for you lethal to anything in your way
I′m the oath in the dark you keep anyway

Crowns made of midnight don't glitter like gold
But I'll drape you in quiet the world can′t control
Shadows like silk when they trace down your spine
Then turn into wolves when it′s time to be mine


You draw a thin line in a wavering light
I kiss it to smoke and carry you right

I'm the shadow that shields and the blade that will bite
Soft on your throat and a storm in the fight
Call me a monster I′ll answer with grace
Gentle for you lethal to anything in your way
I'm the oath in the dark you keep anyway

Say it in whispers I′ll hear it like bells
Devotion that saves and a hunger that dwells
Your fingers in mine the night on our side
A promise that bruises and heals as it binds

Older than rumors and younger than sin
I've carried a thousand lost lovers within
But you are the one that my shadows obey
They soften for you and they murder for me

Run if you need to remember your name
I′ll follow the places the streetlights can't claim
Pray if you want but the answer is clear
The dark isn't empty it′s mine and you′re here


I'm the shadow that shields and the blade that will bite
Soft on your throat and a storm in the fight
Call me salvation call me your sin
Either way open the door and let me in
I′m the oath in the dark you keep anyway

Lights out little star let the sky do its part
I'll carry the night while you carry my heart
Sleep and if monsters come looking tonight
I′ll smile and the shadows will ask them to die
