Text: Machine Head. Through The Ashes Of Empires. Descend the Shades of Night.

The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend

Sitting in the empty black, 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
Tears of blood begin to seep, bleed the sky

The shades of night descend

Descend the shades of night
Death shines a golden light
Across a blackened sky
All our hate is a product of a world we created

The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend

Ashen clouds obscure my brain, doubts begin to turn to shame
Insecureness tears at bliss, I hate me for this weakness
The faith I need 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 a golden light
Across a blackened sky
All our hate is a product of a world we created

Scream with me, bleed with me
Seethe with me, sing with me
Scream with me, bleed with me
Seethe with me, sing with me

Free me, free me, free me
Descend

Descend the shades of night
Death shines a golden light
Across the blackened sky
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend

The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend
