Abney Park - Shadow of Life lyrics

Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill And if I lose my footing this rock will k** Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit So I can't see the top or know how far is it Well, life is a constant and d**h is a beast And every time it's been fed its presence increased Oh, well, I feel its wings and its eyes bore my neck And this pressure has turned me into a wreck Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh It's a cold and a hollow and a lonely life I've seen anguish and anger, fear and strife Now, the darkness comes and it takes my pride But I've learned to face the darkness in my stride I felt its teeth pierce through my neck and back I felt my skin rip and I heard my bones crack And if I have strength left we'll soon see For the shadow of life has eaten me Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Well, my comfort and security leave stride by stride If I could see some way out I'd throw away my pride But I can't go back and my d**h lies ahead And the end of this life fills me with dread Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill If I lose my footing this rock will k** Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit So I can't see the top or know how far is it Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
