I Sold My Shadow First
(Black metal / gothic doom with emotional sing-along chorus)
[Intro — whispered over cold guitars]
I sold my shadow first…
Seemed harmless at the time…
Just one piece…
Just one more…
[Verse I]
I met the dealer beneath dead stars
With silver teeth and coal-black scars
He said:
“Souls are rare, too hard to take—
But smaller pieces are easy to break.”
So I gave away the darkest part
The thing that followed from the start
No reflection left in neon light
Still… I slept just fine at night
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the cold began to spread
Through every word I ever said
I laughed while angels turned away
And felt less human every day
[Chorus — massive sing-along]
I SOLD MY SHADOW FIRST!
Now the silence only hurts!
Piece by piece I disappeared
Until there was nothing left to fear!
I SOLD MY SHADOW FIRST!
Fed the darkness, fed the curse!
Every memory turned to ash—
Every heartbeat fading black!
[Verse II]
Next went mercy, next went trust
Love collapsed into the dust
I traded grief so I could feel no pain
But numbness rotted through my veins
I sold my name for endless nights
Sold my dreams for city lights
Sold my tears to kill regret
Now I can’t remember them
[Bridge — slow atmospheric section]
No soul was stolen
No chains were forced
I signed away
Each human source
One finger…
One feeling…
One memory at a time…
Until the mirror
Showed nothing
Staring back alive
[Breakdown]
BLACK BLOOD!
EMPTY EYES!
I OUTLIVED THE MAN INSIDE!
NO LOVE!
NO GRACE!
ONLY STATIC IN MY VEINS!
[Final Chorus — layered choir vocals]
I SOLD MY SHADOW FIRST!
Now eternity is cursed!
Every fragment that I gave
Built the creature I became!
I SOLD MY SHADOW FIRST!
Buried deep beneath the earth!
Now the devil knows my face—
But even hell forgot my name!
[Outro — fading clean guitar & wind]
I kept selling pieces…
Because it hurt less than feeling whole…
And when they came for my soul…
There was nothing left to take.
