Sylosis - Shield lyrics

Absorbed in the deceit
We feel the axiom depart
I've seen the crushing hands of karma
Tear lives apart sit and lament
As I descend
I find no solace in the lies that I've built
And I repent to circumvent
Made no bones about the wounds that I've left

I swear I've tried
But the guilt is eating me alive
A recurring throe to plunge me deep below

When I've fallen when the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping you're my saviour
I bear the burdens of the earth

Controlling every lucid moment
No sign of respite
I slip beneath the conscious mind

I swear I've tried
But the guilt is eating me alive
A recurring throe to plunge me deep below

When I've fallen when the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping you're my saviour
You'll shield the darkness of this earth
I'll shield the darkness from you

I swallow the burdens
And on these imperfections I dwell
Entomb me in this self-constructed hell
Penance

When I've fallen when the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping you're my saviour
I'll learn to witness all this weight
