Shadows Dance Tonight

I wrote about the dark sadness and obstacles that appear in life. I had wrote it for my grandfather as he was on his deathbed. I now dedicate this song to him.

~♥~

*~*

Broken in the vicious cycle

I’ve already lost my mind

Heart is shattered

Nothing matters

Happiness, oh I can’t find

-

Sadness and despair

I feel it in the air

It is seeping

Into my skin

-

Broken down inside

The light now seems to hide

I am lost and

Forgotten

<~>

Oh

Can you feel it touch your skin

Oh

You might as well give in

Oh

The shadows dance tonight

Oh

Our sorrows their delight

-

Shackles on my wrists

Chained down but in the mist

There is still hope

For the new world

-

No matter how I try

I’m weakened by the fight

Plagued by fear, there’s,

Only nightmares

*~*

Twisted up and all around

A sinking sense I’ve got it wrong

Time is twirling

Thoughts are whirling

Still I’m stuck behind these bars

~-~

I

Can’t find

What’s left

Behind

Still

I’m tor-mented

But

I still will stand

<->

Oh

Can you feel it touch your skin

Oh

You might as well give in

Oh

The shadows dance tonight

Oh

Our sorrows their delight

*~*

Darkness swirling all around me

Shadows try to pull me in

There is something deep inside me

Something I must not let win

~-~

My

Heart cries

Out in

The night

Scre-aming

In agony

So that

I still may stand

<~>

Oh

Can you feel it touch your skin

Oh

You might as well give in

Oh

The shadows dance tonight

Oh

Our sorrows their delight

~♥~
