The end will crush the light And sends a message, It won't please The naked eye Without and end there is no light To foretell, to blind you The law of the claw reigns on and after still When I die, I cast a shadow And I'll rise, I cast a shadow I'm leaving more eyes open I close up both of mine For the ones that chase my life They're looking over shoulders Let paranoia in Spontaneously rule them When I die, I cast a shadow And I'll fly, I cast a shadow Everybody get fucking up! I cast a shadow... I... I cast a shadow I cast a shadow... I... I cast a shadow (Chorus) When I die, I cast a shadow And I'll rise, I cast a shadow
