The Shadowing Lyrics

The demons are here
The burning's begun
The run of our time
The sanctums, they'll burn

You'll face your time, your death
The burning of haloes

You said
You said you'd never come back here again
I've changed me
All of me

I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll die once the scar opens again
I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll fight it again to watch you leave

You'll face your time, your death
The burning of haloes

The price we pay
Through the eyes and the mind of a broken man
It's here to stay
Confined in all

The birth, the growth, the life
The shadows uprising
I've lived through the eyes of a man
In search of the bright light

I will live once I am free
The soul travels lightly across the plains
The golden star in sky embrace your heart

I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll die once the scar opens again
I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll fight it again to watch you leave

You'll face, your time, yourself
In this world of all chaos

The demons are here
The burning's begun
The run of our time
The sanctums, they'll burn

You'll face your time, your death
The burning of haloes

You said
You said you'd never come back here again
I've changed me
All of me

I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll die once the scar opens again
I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll fight it again to watch you leave

You'll face your time, your death
The burning of haloes

The price we pay
Through the eyes and the mind of a broken man
It's here to stay
Confined in all

The birth, the growth, the life
The shadows uprising
I've lived through the eyes of a man
In search of the bright light

I will live once I am free
The soul travels lightly across the plains
The golden star in sky embrace your heart

I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll die once the scar opens again
I believe I'll die once I see you here
I believe I'll fight it again to watch you leave

You'll face, your time, yourself
In this world of all chaos

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Vocalist Niklas Karlsson says this song is the final of a trilogy of songs by the band taking on Harm-OCD in its most horrific and fullest form & the sinister anxiety that comes with it. This is about the sickness of existence for some which leads to some sort of self-harm OCD as a release from the agony. Those who are in such a dark place, pain or even death to them seems like the great escape or destination. They look forward to meeting the grim reaper & embrace the end without fear of it.
