Lurking Shadow

A cancer spreading its disease
Planting a seed
Growing like a shadow
That I have no choice but to reap

A shadow is lurking
Waiting around the corner
It is growing influence
A tighter grip from the shadow

I'm a harvester of my own roots
And they run so deep
Let this selfish ritual unfold
And see where it falters me
And see where it falters me

Yet when the weather changes
As times get rougher
The cold and gathering storm
The journey evolves

Like

A shadow is lurking
Waiting around the corner
It is growing influence
A tighter grip from the shadow

I'm a harvester of my own roots
And they run so deep
Let this selfish ritual unfold
And see where it falters me

It strengthens its bonds towards me
My own season tries to deceive me
The season might or might not succeed
The next season to come

It strengthens its bonds towards me
A shadow lurking in the dark
