Cycle of Shadows

[Intro]
In the shadows, I dwell alone
Haunted by a thirst unknown
Echoes of lost lives in my bones
Caught in a cycle I can't disown

[Verse 1]
Night falls heavy, on this lonely fight
Collecting fragments in the dying light
Souls I've taken, slipping out of sight
A demon’s debt weighing me down tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Filling the void with what's been stolen
Empty inside, hearts broken, golden
Chasing the fragments, never wholly won
A never-ending game I've spun

[Chorus]
Soldier of darkness, haunted and torn
Carrying burdens that leave me worn
Forever searching, forever cursed
In this cycle, I feel inert

[Verse 2]
Demon’s shadow, lurking close behind
No peace within, no peace to find
In the night, I lose my mind
Trading my soul for a fleeting kind

[Pre-Chorus]
Filling the void with what I crave
Lost in the darkness, no way to save
The cycle spins, it’s my only home
Lost in shadows, forever alone

[Chorus]
Soldier of darkness, haunted and torn
Carrying burdens that leave me worn
Forever searching, forever cursed
In this cycle, I feel inert

[Bridge]
Is there salvation, a way to break free?
Or am I destined to always be?
A pawn in a demonic decree
Filling the void eternally

[Outro]
When death comes to claim my soul
Will it end this endless toll?
Or am I just a shadow’s goal?
Lost forever, never whole
