my shadow walks

my shadow walks,
...unforgiven.
i'll follow it,
...'till the end.
each step,
...leads to the next.
with the devil as my
witness,
i embrace this darkness
within...

it was there burning
crosses...
i looked into the flames.
...only to see the faces
of those forgotten.
my shadow walked,
...into the darkest day.

i can not reconcile with
my conscience,
...to it i am always a
slave.
as i drift deeper into
this darkness,
i swear,
...i am not afraid.

my shadow walks,
without direction...
i follow it,
into the arms of
deception...

my shadow walks,
...without hesitation.
feeling this darkness
inside of me,
wearing my skin...

it was there,
...burning crosses.
i looked into the flames,
...only to see the faces
of those forgotten...
my shadow walked,
...into the darkest day.
