The Shroud Songtext / Lyric

The Shroud Songtext
As a child you were weak
Faced with menace
You whimpered And cowered in misery Now frayed and wild
Ever yearning for solace
You fall to diversion
So easily

When your dearest need you most
You are hesitant
Ever watchful for a way to run

Once again
You are caught in the middle
A rat in a cock-fight
Of love and hate

You close your eyes
And the world starts to trickle
You let yourself drench
And exhilarate

Cowardly
You hide from reality
Ignoring the urgency
The portent of now

Steadily
Your addict mentality
Will shadow your legacy
The Escapist tao

Feel our pain
You have failed
To defend us
The prospect of loss
Makes you burn inside

So face the strain
At the high court of embers
There’s no shield, no shelter
Nowhere to hide

Finally
You see your mortality
So you welcome insanity
Or rip off the shroud
