Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'm  sitting in the empty black. The  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 her  golden light
Across  a blackened  sky
All  our hate is a product of a world.  We created
 Ashen clouds obscure my brain. Doubts begin to turn to shame
 Insecureness tears at bliss. I hate me for this weakness
 Faith drives me to carry on. And take the road less travelled on
 Resentment swallowed means to drown. The poison down
 The shades of night, descend!
 REPEAT CHORUS
Scream  with me. Bleed  with me. Seethe  with me. Sing  with me
Why  me?!.  Why me?!.  Why  me?! Ah!!!
Descend  the shades  of night
Death  shines her  golden light
Across  a blackened  sky
The  shades of night descend. The shades  of night descend.
 Enjoy! I hope you find this helpful!!!
