Cast No Shadow

An empty soul is reaching out yet no one hears
An apathetic world revolves –worthless
Celebrating the misfortune of others
Pour the wine into the glass of depression

I have grown weary of this madness
(Now it won’t be the same)
I feel I’ve lost my trust toward mankind

I’ve been ridiculed and mocked for no reason
I have nothing but contempt — and hatred
For those who think they own others’ lives
Assume the antagonist’s role –created

I have seen others fade without a trace
(Like footprints in the sand)
I am the one they left behind to die

I heard the summons bell chime
And saw the spirits align
They celebrate my end — cast no shadow
As I witness others die
Others live with blinded eyes
Conviction will not bend – cast no shadow

I have seen others fade without a trace
(Like footprints in the sand)
I am the one they left behind to die

I heard the summons bell chime
And saw the spirits align
They celebrate my end — cast no shadow
As I witness others die
Others live with blinded eyes
Conviction will not bend – cast no shadow

I watch the world pass me by
Their selfish ways I defy
I am my only friend — cast no shadow
Alone in death I reside
No standards, rules to abide
Leave all the chaos behind — cast no shadow
