i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
i feel the shadows call
their darkness and their thrall
i feel the shadows tugging, lord

i thought that what i’d need
is the opportunity
to be the one who shines just like the sun
but when i got the chance
they turned to necromance
and i knew i’d be the forgotten one

i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
the light is fading fast
and though this too shall pass
i feel the shadows tugging, lord

i spent my days in gray
tryna keep my fears at bay
and eventually i learned what i find true
that loneliness is not
some curse that leaves you lost
and if it saves you all, that’s what i’d choose

i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
when night time turns to day
i'll have to go away
i feel the shadows tugging, lord

i answer not to seeds
to coins, or to the sea
i answer not to man, nor to machine
the only thing i know
is after, when i go
i hope the ones i love remember me

i feel the shadows tugging, lord
oh my lord
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
i feel the shadows call
their darkness and their thrall
i feel the shadows tugging, lord
