Shadows of the Dying

A collection of simple, dark and foreboding songs about mortality, loneliness, and the struggle of our existence.

Little Girl

Burden Man

You were born

A little snowflake in my eyes

I looked at you every day

Wondering why

 

Why my little girl

So small and innocent

I wish I could bear

The pain of your existence

 

Little girl

I’m sorry for your life

The choice is yours

To see heaven tonight

 

I sit you down

One last time

Before I ask you

I have to stop myself from crying

 

I know the choice you’ll make

I’ve helped you make it from the start

But as your hands grow cold

Regret slowly fills my heart

 

Little girl

I’m sorry to steal your life

My conscience pulls at me

I want to reunite

 

It’s too late

The choice can’t be undone

Now all that’s left

Is for me to die alone

 

Little girl

To make you choose wasn’t right

My conscience pulls at me

I want to reunite

 

It’s too late

The choice can’t be undone

Now all that’s left

Is for me to die alone
