I eat your pain To make me feel alive I am a carnivorous monster Who feeds only on the dark The substance of your inner, the sinner, the weak and the withered The broken and the beaten, the lost and the defeated I am the monster Dressed as your saviour Like a predator hidden in the shadows I follow and wait for your weakness to show I consume you just like a parasite Fill myself with all you hate about you So the cycle repeats And I feel even more alive Every ounce of you I consume I learn to despise in me In you and in everything I do All I see, what is and is not real Your pain becomes my pain, your hurt becomes my gain Everything you fear is what I drain I lurk in the shadows Of your emptiness I feast on your despair On your loneliness This shadow parasite I have become Hidden from the light of the pure one It lives to feed on your pain Only over the broken will I reign I'm shadow Light's shallow Shrouded face Your pain awaits my embrace For I am weak The embodiment of sin It's hard to bring to an end That which I did not begin Like a predator hidden in the shadows I follow and wait for your weakness to show I consume you just like a parasite Fill myself with all I hate I lurk in the shadows Of your emptiness I feast on your despair On your loneliness This shadow parasite I have become Hidden from the light of the pure one It lives to feed on your pain Only over the broken will I reign As I live, I must die Killed by consumption of the poison that kept me alive Greed is my weakness The indulgence of the meek's cold bleakness Something blinds me The same thing that binds me to this horror As you see me When you know I'm there I'm as quick gone I'm shadow Light's shallow Shrouded face Your pain awaits my embrace For I am weak The embodiment of sin I cannot end This again I lurk in the shadows Of your emptiness I feast on your despair On your loneliness This shadow parasite I have become Hidden from the light of the pure one It lives to feed on your pain Only over the broken will I reign I am the monster Dressed as your saviour I feed on loathing Your light eroding I am the monster Dressed as your saviour Reduced to ashes by your light I am a shadow parasite Shadow parasite Killed by your light Shadow parasite Killed By your light
