Descend the Shades of Night - Machine Head

Sitting in the empty black

The last slivers of dusk have passed

Accept the dawn to ease the fear

One day I will not be here

Death she comes and with her thread

Upon me ties a mask for dead

Its tears of blood begin to seep

And bleed the sky

Descend the shades of night

Death shines her golden light

Across a blackened sky

All our hate is a product of our world…

We created

Ashen clouds obscure my brain

Doubts begin to turn to shame

Insecureness tears at bliss

I hate me for this weakness

Faith drives me to carry on

And take the road less travelled on

Resentment swallowed means to drown

The poison down

The shades of night descend

Descend the shades of night

Death shines her golden light

Across a blackened sky

All our hate is a product of our world…

We created

Scream with me

Bleed with me

Seethe with me

Sing with me

Free me

Free me

Free me

Descend the shades of night

Death shines her golden light

Across a blackened sky

The shades of night descend
