Abney Park - The Shadow of Life lyrics

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 Now life is a constant and d**h is a beast And every time it's been fed its presence increased I feel its wings and its eyes bore my neck And this pressure is turning me into a wreck Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 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 take the darkness in my stride I felt its teeth pierce through my neck and back I felt my skin rip and heard my bones crack And if I have strength left we'll soon see For the shadow of life has eaten me Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Comfort and security leave stride by stride If I could see someway out I'd throw away my pride But I can't go back and my d**h lies ahead But 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 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
