I am the shadow

We stand in the ashes of their lies We’ll rise with fire in our eyes (Rise up!) Look in my eyes, what do you fear? I am the shadow drawing near I’ve seen your hopes, I know your pain I’ve been the storm inside your brain (inside) Oh, I’m the shadow in control (Control!) From the depths, where whispers breed I’m the shadow driving your greed (Greed!) I am the voice you can't escape You can't break free, but you can try Flashing lights, a kingdom falls (Falls!) When the truth is lost, you hear the calls You don’t need to kneel to me (Kneel to me!) Only you can break you free (Break free!) I wear the masks you cannot see I’m the voice inside your plea I build you up, then break you down I pull the strings, I wear the crown Oh, I’m the shadow in control (Control!) I twist your thoughts, pull all the strings You can't break free, but you can try [Chorus 2: Climactic Build + Eerie Whispers] Flashing lights, your fortress breaks (It breaks!) When the mirror cracks, it’s too late But I won’t bow to this decree (Decree!) Only I can set me free (Set me free!) I twist your mind, can’t shut me out In the silence, you scream and shout Flashing lights, your kingdom falls (It falls!) The shadows rise, the silence calls (It calls!) But I won’t kneel to this control (No control!) I’ll break the chains, regain my soul (Regain my soul!) I am the shadow, I am the shadow (Shadow!) But now I stand, and I take control But I won’t kneel to this control (No control!) I’ll break the chains, regain my soul (Regain my soul!) I am the shadow, I am the shadow (Shadow!) But now I stand, and I take control
