"Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby." - Unknown


It's only cold, black stone
Lining the walls at this point
No inkling of hope, no smidgeon of fear
Nothing but lost atmosphere

There's only bodies around
No feeling within
Nothing but my own worn skin

So what are you in for?
What did you sin for?
What happened to me, I can't unsee
What are you in for?
What's your inner core?
Just evil, pure sins
No pride or simple ecstasy
So what are you in for?

It's only smooth, dry dust
Coating my palms at this point
No sign of love, no drop of blood
Nothing but a lifeless flood

There's only faces around
No person inside
Nothing but Death's only bride

So what are you in for?
What did you sin for?
Wishing for someone to side with me
What are you in for?
What's your inner core?
Some evil, some sins
Some pride and bits of ecstasy
So what are you in for?

And somehow I'm discovering
Few matching fingerprints
Somehow I'm knowing

What I am in for
What I made sin for
Knowing that someone sides with me
What I am in for
What's my inner core
No evil, no sins
Just pride and simple ecstasy
What I am in for

What I am in for
What I made sin for
Knowing that someone sides with me
What I am in for
What's my inner core
No evil, no sins
Just pride and simple ecstasy
What I am in for

This is
What I am in for
