Sylosis Shield Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Absorbed in the deceit
We feel the axiom depart
I've seen the crushing hands of karma
Tear lives apart
Sit and lament
As I descend
I find no solace in the lies that I've built
And I repent
To circumvent
Made no bones about the wounds that I've left

[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I've tried
But the guilt is eating me alive
A recurring throe
To plunge me deep below

[Chorus]
When I've fallen
When the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping
You're my saviour
I bear the burdens of the earth

[Verse 2]
Controlling every lucid moment
No sign of respite
I slip beneath the conscious mind [Pre-Chorus]
I swear I've tried
But the guilt is eating me alive
A recurring throe
To plunge me deep below

[Chorus]
When I've fallen
When the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping
You're my saviour
You'll shield the darkness of this earth
I'll shield the darkness from you

[Bridge]
I swallow the burdens
And on these imperfections I dwell
Entomb me in this self-constructed hell
Penance

[Chorus]
When I've fallen
When the pain comes
I will be braced for the worst
So here's hoping
You're my saviour
I'll learn to witness all this weight
