Let's Drag You Down

from Shadow by Red Ankh

/

lyrics

Sacrifice your moments to a mortal god
Help me help you suffer in your lonely world
Awaking your disdain for your deepest darkest self
I can show you just how to make this become you

You survived your hate, let me help you
You conquered your fear, what a joke you are
You have scarred your face, I can hardly see it
You have scarred your mind, now let's drag it further down

Pride it comes from only power, let's make you an ugly monster
Fail to see the love and honor, smirk, your sanity cracking deeper
Waste away so they all fear your company, your screams they'll hear
And then they'll know just what you are, a shadow, a fallen star

I shall pound your demon drum and you shall know my name
I shall pound your demon drum and you shall know my name
I shall pound your demon drum and you shall know
I shall pound your demon drum and you shall

There's a way to laugh and smile
To feed desire with joy
A laugh of life, a smile of care
Emotion can be your toy

The wise of us
Don't care about you
Why should they
Can't understand you
Spite their calm
We'll show them
The power that they can't know

Claw away your will
Claw away your love
Claw away your mind
Take on the old kind

Don't despair out there
Do despair alone
Fear is your true friend
Trust in the static

Laugh at them, their will
Laugh at them, their love
Laugh at them, they lie
Deny their darkness

What we are is true
Tear apart, undo
The facade of light
Feed it to the shadows

Why reach beyond what you know, child
The simplest you is the strongest you, observe

From your id comes motivation, drive
The ego tries to hide, let it go
Why be any thing more than your true intentions
Right or wrong, what matters, get what you want

Empathy is for those who can't feel for their selves
What good are the feelings of others to you
They can deceive, betray, so they will do both
Let them be pawns, if they wish to be pawns

You'll know once you've lost
Once you've lost enough to see
That trust in the joys
Brings a much worse misery
I know it is hard
To let go, my friend
But they won't be missed
By our bitter, bitter, end

Pride it comes from only power, let's make you an ugly monster
Fail to see the love and honor, smirk, your sanity cracking deeper
Waste away so they all fear your company, your screams they'll hear
And then they'll know just what you are, a shadow, a fallen star

I shall pound your demon drum and you shall know my name
I shall pound your demon drum and you shall know my name
I shall pound your demon drum and you shall know
I shall pound your demon drum and you shall
