Black Fuel's second power ballad about a sad story.
lyrics
As every night, she’s at her favourite whiskey bar
Her shadow leads a life of its own
Since that bitter day it’s been her rampant king
On that dirty stool for a throne
Since that bitter day
Since that bitter day
Since that bitter day it’s been her rampant king
It’s late again, she leaves the bar and stumbles home
And hears it follow through the cold
The clacking clatter of her shadow’s cloven hoof
Makes her feel so helpless, weak and old
The force came out of nowhere
Since that bitter day
Since that bitter day
Since that bitter day it’s been her rampant king
She’s trembling on her way to the railway line
This time she wants to get it done
Something stops her as she’s right between the rails
A few more steps and she’d be gone
Held back her shadow’s clawing teeth and nails
She can’t turn around and can’t move on
The force came out of nowhere
