It's always right behind me, how the hell does it find me? I've been running so long I'm running out of places for hiding It won't go away, I'm losing hope, there's no escape Why try to search for a place if I know there's no where that I'm safe It is watching, my every move there is no stopping Lurking under the surface awaiting the moment emerging to stifle my progress Its followed me home, I'm feeling hollow and cold This inner monster has taken me over and swallowed him whole You can't escape it, it's in you as well The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell You can't escape it, it's in you as well The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell If he had money, well, thank God that he don't Satan himself couldn't quench the desires from deep in his soul A lecherous creep, praying these walls cannot speak Latent perversions necessitate urges to prey on the weak Cause if he had power, he would soon be corrupt Feeling entitled to do as he please with whatever he wants To whoever he wants, human history portends There is no limit to the depths of evil when the Shadow ascends You think you're so different, don't lie to yourself The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell You think you're so different, don't lie to yourself The roots of the shadow go all the way down to the bottom of hell
