[Verse 1] Strike at me, your hand will fall, I am guarded by the wall. Every curse you send my way, In the shadow, it will stay. [Chorus] The sworn shadow stands for me, Turns the blade and sets me free. Every strike returns again, What you give, you shall remain. [Verse 2] Words of venom, sharp as steel, Break upon the shield I feel. Darkness swears its silent vow, I am stronger, I am now. [Chorus] The sworn shadow stands for me, Turns the blade and sets me free. Every strike returns again, What you give, you shall remain. [Bridge] I call the night, I call the flame, Send back sorrow, send back shame. In the mirror, all is true, What you send will come to you. [Final Chorus] The sworn shadow stands for me, Turns the blade and sets me free. Every strike returns again, What you give, you shall remain.
