Shadows Dance Tonight

Shadows Dance Tonight

A Poem by Battlecry
"

I wrote about the dark sadness and obstacles that appear in life. I had wrote it for my grandfather as he was on his deathbed. I now dedicate this song to him.

"

~~

*~*

Broken in the vicious cycle

I’ve already lost my mind

Heart is shattered

Nothing matters

Happiness, oh I can’t find

-

Sadness and despair

I feel it in the air

It is seeping

Into my skin

-

Broken down inside

The light now seems to hide

I am lost and

Forgotten

<~>

Oh

Can you feel it touch your skin

Oh

You might as well give in

Oh

The shadows dance tonight

Oh

Our sorrows their delight

-

Shackles on my wrists

Chained down but in the mist

There is still hope

For the new world

-

No matter how I try

I’m weakened by the fight

Plagued by fear, there’s,

Only nightmares

*~*

Twisted up and all around

A sinking sense I’ve got it wrong

Time is twirling

Thoughts are whirling

Still I’m stuck behind these bars

~-~

I

Can’t find

What’s left

Behind

Still

I’m tor-mented

But

I still will stand

<->

Oh

Can you feel it touch your skin

Oh

You might as well give in

Oh

The shadows dance tonight

Oh

Our sorrows their delight

*~*

Darkness swirling all around me

Shadows try to pull me in

There is something deep inside me

Something I must not let win

~-~

My

Heart cries

Out in

The night

Scre-aming

In agony

So that

I still may stand

<~>

Oh

Can you feel it touch your skin

Oh

You might as well give in

Oh

The shadows dance tonight

Oh

Our sorrows their delight

~♥~

I adore the fact that I can knit together a blanket of emotions using nothing more than an object to write with and my own mind. Music and passion are what drives my soul to ignite. To be the best.. more..
