[Verse 1] I sense it in the shadows, like a storm about to break A presence just beyond my reach, a ghost I cannot shake And though I haven't seen it's face since I turned away in fear I know It's out there somewhere now, I can feel it drawing near [Chorus] If it still walks beneath the sky Then every sin is mine If it should fall to darker things Then it's darkness by design What have I done? I tried to be Divine A father to a nameless thing Darkness by design [Verse 2] They found him lying in the cold before the break of day My Brother's voice now gone with nothing more to say His laughter haunts the empty rooms where Sunlight used to stay Now a name carved into stone because of something I have made [Chorus] If it still walks beneath the sky Then every sin is mine If it should fall to darker things Then it's darkness by design What have I done? I tried to be Divine A father to a nameless thing Darkness by design [Verse 3] I crossed a line that night, no man was meant to cross And now the cost of knowledge is the price I pay for loss A thread connects the past to every step I try to take And something tells me I have sealed a dark and tragic fate [Bridge] If this is justice then I stand condemned If this is fate, then I have forged it If it has learned to hate this World Then I'm the one who taught it [Chorus] If it still walks beneath the sky Then every sin is mine If it should fall to darker things Then it's darkness by design What have I done? I tried to be Divine A father to a nameless thing Darkness by design Darkness by design
