My dark companion

Dust is settling down on my boot,
Walking miles with no map and no route.
There's a shadow right over my back,
And it thrives when the sun fades to black.
It don't ask me for water or meat,
It's the vengeance I keep off the street.
When I stumble and fall in a daze,
It's the thing that sets fields in a blaze.



Припев
My dark passenger, unseen and grim,
You drag me down deep where the daylight grows dim.
We share the same bread, we share the same sin,
Your quiet low smile scares everyone in.
My dark passenger, thief in my mind,
We'll soon leave the rest of the living behind.


Pulse is beating as hard as a drum,
I am tired of the man I've become.
Hiding steel in my boot without sound,
By a thick heavy knot we are bound.
Somewhere crying, a lone guitar string,
Darkness is the only companion I bring.
It is silent, but footsteps are near,
It's the only damn thing that I fear.


Припев
My dark passenger, unseen and grim,
You drag me down deep where the daylight grows dim.
We share the same bread, we share the same sin,
Your quiet low smile scares everyone in.
My dark passenger, thief in my mind,
We'll soon leave the rest of the living behind.
