"Shadows Die" lyrics - BLACK VEIL BRIDES

Tear down the cross
Splinters and shards
Remembered this Trojan horse
Rode to the land we enter
We'll burn away
And free our fallen brothers
From shackles made
Of steel and bones of soldiers
Yeah!

[Chorus:]
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
A church of lies
Can't tell me what is right
Our little victories and desires won't live on
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive, feel alive
I feel alive, yeah

In fear and faith
The candles light our freedom
By tainted night we live this war of wisdom
The streets are stained
With blood that ran their kingdom
And feed the beast that lies beneath our treason

[Chorus:]
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
A church of lies
Can't tell me what is right
Our little victories and desires won't live on
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive, feel alive

[Bridge:]
F.E.A.R. will round up these rebels
These deviants, these so-called wild ones
We will litter the streets with their bones
And annihilate the dangerous and obtuse ideas poisoning your children
Endangering your freedom, giving rise to the destruction of the benevolent future we have prepared for you
You belong to the shadows, and the shadows are where you will remain safe
Do not disobey

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
A church of lies
Can't tell me what is right
Our little victories and desires won't live on
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive, feel alive
(I feel alive, feel alive)
