It’s always right behind me, how the hell does it find me?
I’ve been running so long I’m running out of places for hiding
It won’t go away, I’m losing hope, there’s no escape
Why try to search for a place if I know there’s no where that I’m safe
It is watching, my every move there is no stopping
Lurking under the surface awaiting the moment emerging to stifle my progress
Its followed me home, I’m feeling hollow and cold
This inner monster has taken me over and swallowed him whole
You can’t escape it, it’s in you as well
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
You can’t escape it, it’s in you as well
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
If he had money, well, thank God that he don’t
Satan himself couldn’t quench the desires from deep in his soul
A lecherous creep, praying these walls cannot speak
Latent perversions necessitate urges to prey on the weak
Cause if he had power, he would soon be corrupt
Feeling entitled to do as he please with whatever he wants
To whoever he wants, human history portends
There is no limit to the depths of evil when the Shadow ascends
You think you’re so different, don’t lie to yourself
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
You think you’re so different, don’t lie to yourself
The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
