Nevermore - Shadows Lyrics

Inside, there's a demon inside
And it shadows away
From every step I take
Lost and alone
I hear it cry
Begging and begging for the King's might

If I could be king
If I could kill everything
And start again

Does the sunlight not always cast a Shadow?
Does the darkness not whisper them away?
Against your will, this world's chaos you swallow
All of it, each and every day

Separation from myself
Manipulation in my veins
The crown is calling to me again

A halo or devil's horns
Is the same either way
Don't feel so ashamed

Kill the king and start again

Does the sunlight not always cast a Shadow?
Does the darkness not whisper them away?
Let me be your King and take it all away

I hate my face with all I have
Let me erase the disgrace that I am
Free me from everything
It's time to start a world anew
Oh, hidden somewhere deep inside
An identity I never knew
A nightmare in my eyes
So real I think I made it true

Does the sunlight not always cast a Shadow?
(Ourselves unseen)
Does the darkness not whisper them away?
(Left out to bleed)
This world's chaos I'll always live to follow
(Chaos is your best friend)
Over and over and over again and again

Does the sunlight not always cast a Shadow?
(So long asleep)
Does the darkness not whisper them away?
(They wait to feed)
At last, I'm sick of feeling so hollow
(Striving for this to end)
Your world has met doomsday

Have you ever stopped to question who you are?
No, not how you present yourself. Who you really are?

Do you not question your identity? Your capabilities?
Not doubting yourself; questioning why you limit yourself?
Stopped to study what you are truly capable of?

There is a monster inside all of us
And yours is calling to you
