The Shadow Songtext
von Saving Vice

I am the shadow

I′ve killed the past and learned to die
I've worn a mask that wasn′t mine
The anonymity gives power to the voice deep inside

So call me what you will
And carve it by the window sill
Watch me
With a blade as a pen
Your blood as ink in the quill

Even within all our victories
We see the depths of our despair

I am the shadow

Kindness or violence
Screaming or silent
I'm damned for it all
(damned for it all)


I've accepted my darkness
What have you done with yours?
Night isn′t the virus
Light isn′t the cure

If Peace is a lie
Passion is war

I am the shadow

Can you be still
And watch as the curtain burns?
When rage expires, whatever's left is pure

Ashes in heaven
A calm snow in hell
In the moment I was nothing
You couldn′t kill me
I killed myself

You thought the darkness was your ally
But the shadow betrayed you because it was mine

I'll eat your dreams from the inside
(From the inside out)

You didn′t kill me
Because I killed myself

I am the shadow
My soul unhallowed


A limp falls into my step
Strangled by my shallow breath
The lantern burns inside my chest

I can't think or descend
But this isn′t the end
There's grace in retribution
Mercy in execution

Kindness or violence
Screaming or silent
I'm damned for it all
(damned for it all)

I′ve accepted my darkness
What have you done with yours?
Night isn′t the virus
Light isn't the cure

If Peace is a lie
Passion is war

I am the shadow
I am the shadow
