Skyclad - Alone In d**h's Shadow lyrics

Carnal gladiators lie restless awaiting the dawn Slaves to their pa**ion - so eager its will to perform They wrestle the "Double Backed Beast" face their foe hand to hand The arena was life but alone in d**hs shadow they stand. You brand the social leper - then spare no second thought Too scared to give this kiss of life - "Come rise my son and walk." On these streets of damnation the destitute huddle once more Can we pa** them by just like all who have been there before? Are you so cold and heartless you can feel no shame That we allow a human life to become a d**h in vein. A fear that's bred of ignorance perpetuates the lie Well there but for the mercy and the grace of God go I. Prisoners in a sterile vacuum - hearts that feel but dare not touch The freak show in this callous circus - on parade so all may look Those who gaze upon the outcasts to taste how bitter life can be Can't comprehend the pain you feel - their blinkered eyes will never see.
