Charlie's Dark Shadow

[Verse]

Charlie wore the cross, but lived a false faith

He spoke God's words

That he twisted into hate

A shepherd with wolves in his eyes

He dressed his toxic truth into lies

[Prechorus]

He spoke of sacred love

But he burned with hate

He whispered grace

But damned others to Satan's fate

[Chorus]

Charlie’s dark shadow

Swallowed him whole

Preaching a twisted sermon

Until cornered with no place to go

He didn’t deserve what the gunman gave

Yet he dug for others such a shallow grave

With his hate he sealed his fate

Charlie’s dark shadow

Swallowed him whole

[Verse 2]

Charlie built a temple of splintered wood

He Promised salvation

But God's truth was misunderstood

He Threw the stones of righteousness

While he wore a cardboard crown

He Called it faith

As he tried to tear the world down

[Bridge]

Charlie, oh Charlie

Preaching fire

Preaching fear

Your arrogance lingers

It's Still too near

Were you evil or were you blind?

Cuz the devil quotes scripture every single time

[Chorus]

Charlie’s dark shadow

Swallowed him whole

Preaching a twisted sermon

Until cornered with no place to go

He didn’t deserve what the gunman gave

Yet he dug for others such a shallow grave

With his hate he sealed his fate

Charlie’s dark shadow

Swallowed him whole

Charlie’s dark shadow

Swallowed him whole

Don't be like Charlie

You reap what you sow...

Were you evil or were you blind?

Cuz the devil quotes scripture every single time

Thank you. This is a lyric to a song I wrote. All my songs are available on YouTube, Amazon and Spotify (linked below). It would mean the world to me if you would consider subscribing here as well as on my other platforms. And tips here on Vocal are always welcome!

I've been writing songs since I was 14, and I'm not going to share how long ago that was! I trained in songwriting and composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA as well as DAW. Unfortunately, life happened and although I kept writing I was not able to push my music the way I can now thanks to technology.

I am a global nomad, and I move from place to place about every three months. I am currently in Peru.
