Rot in the Shadow You Cast by Hell Calls Me
Rot in the Shadow You Cast
Intro (ominous, whispered → growl)
You left your mark
I live beneath it
Verse 1
You walked away, but the air still burns
Every corner holds the ghost of your turn
I breathe in ash, I breathe in pain
Your shadow clings like acid rain
You smiled while I bled in quiet
Claimed the world, left me in riot
Pre-Chorus
I can’t escape, I can’t erase
The imprint of your cruel embrace
Chorus
Rot in the shadow you cast
Every memory, every past
I thrive in the venom you left
But I’ll never forgive, I’ll never rest
Rot in the shadow you cast
The damage deep, your lies amassed
I carry the weight, I wear the pain
Your name will haunt my veins
Verse 2
Every word you whispered was a knife
Carving slowly into my life
You fed the cracks, you loved the divide
Left me fractured, nowhere to hide
I scream in silence, fight in vain
Every heartbeat echoes your name
Pre-Chorus
The scars you made refuse to heal
They remind me of the wounds you steal
Chorus
Rot in the shadow you cast
Every memory, every past
I thrive in the venom you left
But I’ll never forgive, I’ll never rest
Rot in the shadow you cast
The damage deep, your lies amassed
I carry the weight, I wear the pain
Your name will haunt my veins
Breakdown (slow, crushing, almost doom)
You don’t know the fire you lit
You don’t know the rage I fit
Every night, every breath I take
The shadow festers, the earth will shake
I rot, but I survive
Your poison keeps me alive
Bridge (chaotic, dissonant, screamed)
Your echo rules the empty space
A tyrant in my mind’s embrace
I claw, I fight, I bite, I bleed
Your shadow lives inside my need
Chorus (extended, with gang vocals)
Rot in the shadow you cast
Every memory, every past
I thrive in the venom you left
But I’ll never forgive, I’ll never rest
Rot in the shadow you cast
The damage deep, your lies amassed
I carry the weight, I wear the pain
Your name will haunt my veins
Final Breakdown (faster, relentless)
I won’t bend
I won’t break
Your shadow follows
But I take
The pain, the scars, the rage inside
I’ll rot in this shadow
But I survive
Outro (spoken → low growl)
The shadow is mine now
The rot is mine now
And so is the vengeance
