richard orpheus campbell – shadow of the beast lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the unwitting architect of the murder of two blameless souls
i felt the never+dying worm of guilt alive inside me
i’ve been the author of evil no words could ever describe
and more, so much more i feared was yet behind

[chorus 1]
sleep fled from my eyes
i wandered like a spirit through the night
and in light of all my crimes
the shadow of the beast filled my mind

[verse 2]
so once again i shunned the face of my fellow man
and left my home in search of solitude
to the mountains that had once sheltered me from the world
but there was always scope for fear and paranoia in my mind
for as long as anything i loved remained behind

[chorus 1]
sleep fled from my eyes
i wandered like a spirit through the night
and in light of all my crimes
the shadow of the beast filled my mind

[bridge]
then suddenly i beheld a sight vile and abhorred
advancing across the mountainside toward me
the murders wretch, beast of my nightmares
burning with rage i exclaimed
devil how dare you approach me
do you not fear the wrath of your creator
begone, or feel my vengeance
wreaked upon your head

[break]

[chorus 2]
fear had fled from my mind
i chased the demon through the night
with murder in my eyes
i closed on him and raised the knife

[outro]
but when i struck, he easily stopped me
and overpowered me in an instant
my life was in his hands
when he spoke to me
