Shadows Lyrics by The Afters

Live On Forever

2016

[Verse 1]
I am breaking, through the concrete
Like an inmate, to the light of day
I'll take my chances, on the outside
With a dark side, that I can't escape
[Pre-Chorus]
If you know me, you know I got nothing to lose
It's do or die, but this time I'm gonna do
If you know me, you know I got nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Wake up the statues, breathe out the dust
Shock of a heartbeat, rush of the blood
Breaking into my skin, feel the burning again
I can't escape it, it's time to
Rise up from the shadows
[Verse 2]
All the circuits, reigniting
Like a lighter, in a stadium
Echoes of angels, in cathedrals
Calling my name, like a prodigal
[Pre-Chorus]
If you know me, you know I got nothing to lose
It's do or die, but this time I'm gonna do
If you know me, you know I got nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Wake up the statues, breathe out the dust
Shock of a heartbeat, rush of the blood
Breaking into my skin, feel the burning again
I can't escape it, it's time to
Rise up from the shadows
Rise up from the shadows
Rise up from the shadows
[Bridge]
Awaken my soul
Awaken my senses
This flesh and bones
Rise up from the shadows
Awaken my soul
Awaken my senses
This flesh and bones
Rise up from the shadows
Rise up from the shadows
Rise up from the shadows
[Chorus]
Wake up the statues, breathe out the dust
Shock of a heartbeat, rush of the blood
Breaking into my skin, feel the burning again
I can't escape it, it's time to
Rise up from the shadows
Wake up the statues, breathe out the dust
Shock of a heartbeat, rush of the blood
Breaking into my skin, feel the burning again
I can't escape it, it's time to
Rise up from the shadows
