The Shadow Of Life Lyrics

Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill

If I lose my footing this rock will kill

Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit

So I can't see the top or know how far it is

Now life is a constant and death is a beast

Every time it's been fed it's presence's increased

I feel it's wings and it's eyes bore my neck

This pressure has turned me into a wreck

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

It's a cold and a hollow and lonely life

I've seen anguish and anger, fear and strife

Now the darkness comes and it takes my pride

But I've learnt to face the darkness in my stride

And I've felt it's teeth pierce through my neck and back

I've felt my skin rip and I've heard my bones crack

And if I have strength left we'll soon see

For the shadow of life has eaten me

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Well now comfort and security leave stride by stride

If I could see some way out I'd throw away my pride

But I can't go back and my death lies ahead

And the end of this life fills me with dread

Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill

If I lose my footing this rock will kill

Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit

So I can't see the top or know how far it is

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
