Lyrics Where Shadows Have Teeth - Terra Tenebrosa

Where Shadows Have Teeth

In the rift between throats exposed and gnarling teeth
Between a trembling hand and the ashen skin of the stillborn
In a nest of rot and mold and crumbling matter
I reside where dreams come to die
Come where shadows have teeth
And no wounds are healing
Come where there is no peace
Here we are always bleeding
Chasms and cavities
Sharp blades and bitter weight
Sustains this shell
This monument to everything vile and ugly and dead
Come where sorrow and fear has hold
No light transgressing
Come where the air is stale and black
Learn how to breathe it
Grave processions through room after room after room
Through nuances of black in a pitch black hole
It’s inside these walls
It sticks to the floor and it pulls you down
It’s filthy rags over mouth and nose and hands around your throat
It’s inside me and with the strength of trees winding their roots deep into the
ground
It’s connecting to a place within you
Come where shadows have teeth
Come where there is no peace
Come where sorrow and fear has hold
No light transgressing
Come where the air is stale and black
And learn how to breathe it
