In Praise of Shadows

Eclipsed

Compositor: Caio Ramon Nascimento / Ítalo Monteiro / Luis Eduardo "Zé" / Vitor Moreira

I feed the fire
With charcoal from the bridges
I burned along
My treacherous existence

My currency is failure
Rich in silver tongue coin
Stained yellow rusted paper
Scribed in light blue paint
(Diluted in tear soaked sorrow)

I feed the fire
With charcoal from the bridges
I burned along
My treacherous existence

My currency is failure
Rich in silver tongue coin
Stained yellow rusted paper
Scribed in light blue paint
(Diluted in tear soaked sorrow)

Salted blurry grey pictures
Drawn faceless figures
Shapeless images of myself
In the endless water mirror

In praise of shadows
I look inside
Fearing the light
I shut my eyes
I shut my eyes!

Salted blurry grey pictures
Drawn faceless figures
Shapeless images of myself
In the endless water mirror

In praise of shadows
I look inside
Fearing the light
I shut my eyes
I shut my eyes!

You think you have won
What is light without dark?
What are you without me?
I am a part of you all
You can never defeat me
We are brothers
Eternal!

I bring forth the very worst in you!!!
