Keeper of Shadows

The shadows whisper in the dusk
Embrace the dark, come be free
A gentle hum, the night's confession
The twilight holds its secrets deep

Where is the keeper of my soul?
Tell me how you bear the night

Through the silence, the old clock's chime
Steel and iron, these chains that bind
Prayers and whispers to the stars above
Lonely hearts lost in a shroud of love

Where is the keeper of my soul?
Tell me how you bear the night

Echos of eternity, where lost souls weep
In the midnight choir, the sorrow seeps
Ghosts in the hall, their vigil keep
In the dark we find, what the day can't reap

O Steeled by cold, in the abyss we dive
The heartbeat slow, where the shadows thrive
In the murk, where the silence screams
We awaken life, in the death of dreams

Oh, warden of the somber tides
In your grasp, the night abides
The iron gates, they creak and moan
In the fortress where the lost call home

With each tolling bell, the spirits rise
Grasping onto life, under the onyx skies
Guardian of the hallowed halls
Through the dusk and nightfall's thralls
