A recorded reading of “The Dripping Shadow”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
From ink-drenched voids, it claws to the fore, A shadow unstitched from the seams of before. Teeth like razors in a grin so wide, A maw where secrets and horrors collide. Eyes like voids, twin moons eclipsed, Swallowing stars in frozen grips. It drips and spreads, a viscous flood, A whisper drowned in clotting blood. Born of fears we dare not name, Of whispered guilt and buried shame. Each drop, a scream too faint to rise, Each smear, a death in shadow’s guise. It shifts, it flows, it cannot be still, A phantom sculpted by iron will. Its laughter cracks through a fragile sky, As sanity bends, as reason dies. It feeds on fear, a parasite king, A sovereign crowned in silence’s ring. It stains the soul with inky blight, A bleeding void devouring light. Run, but know it will not fade, The beast that stirs where shadows played. It waits and watches, with patient glee, A dripping shadow bound to thee.
Lyrics
From ink-drenched voids, it claws to the fore, A shadow unstitched from the seams of before. Teeth like razors in a grin so wide, A maw where secrets and horrors collide. Eyes like voids, twin moons eclipsed, Swallowing stars in frozen grips. Dripping down, drowning light, A whisper lost in endless night. It stains the soul, it twists the air, A shadow waits—it’s always there. It drips and spreads, a viscous flood, A whisper drowned in clotting blood. Born of fears we dare not name, Of whispered guilt and buried shame. It shifts, it flows, it cannot be still, A phantom sculpted by iron will. Its laughter cracks through a fragile sky, As sanity bends, as reason dies. Dripping down, drowning light, A whisper lost in endless night. It stains the soul, it twists the air, A shadow waits—it’s always there. Run, but know it will not fade, The beast that stirs where shadows played. It waits and watches, with patient glee... A dripping shadow bound to thee...
