You Can't Run from Me

I am the shadow of destiny
That beckons in silence
From the dark woods of the twilight
I am the terror of traitors
The conflicts in the bones of the wicked
The trouble that flows in your blood

It is I who knock at your door at dawn
And lay at your bed at dusk
I hiss the truth into your ears
And guild to your wandering feet
Yet you ignore my whispers
Wishing I never lived

How  far can you run
From your own shadow
How long shall you kill

A being that can never die
You can't survive without
I am your conscience
