By Thy Shadow Songtext

It was a night of joy

But it'll be just memories of dust, tomorrow.



By thy shadow,

And from the wall you can see us all down low,

It's not the same here,

Salvation is in the cold ground,

While we keep our heads high.



The dark still scares us all
Before the task we are blind

Learning how to act right.



By thy shadow,

I have a glimpse of where my feet will take my soul,

And I ain't going nowhere,

I wish I could carry your burden so we both can grow old.



But when I'm dead and gone,

Then I'm just dry bones and a name, next to your tombstone.
