Monolith of Decay – "Where Shadows Caress the Pale"

"Where Shadows Caress the Pale" is a haunting chapter from Monolith of Decay’s album Elegies of the Forsaken Heart.
This track drifts through the border between life and memory — a requiem for two souls bound beyond death.
Heavy, sorrowful riffs blend with ethereal whispers, as grief becomes devotion and silence becomes touch.
A love that persists where even shadows learn to breathe. 🕯️

🕯️ Lyrics

The room remembers your breath
dust circling in tired light
two shadows learning how to touch
without a body to obey

Your name falls like pale petals
on the glass between us
I trace the fog you left
and it blooms into frost

Where shadows caress the pale, I wait
tongue of ash, heart of winter rain
Hold me like night holds a dying flame
touch me where touch has no skin

I kept your vow in a quiet jar
thin as a moth’s wing, still warm
Every hour opened its teeth
yet your echo did not bleed

Between the clocks and the wound
we weave a sleep of silver thorns
If love must speak, let it speak in hush
If love must die, let it die as a rose

Where shadows caress the pale, I drown
veins of snow feeding roots of grief
Breathe through me, candle of the gone
kiss me where lips are only memory

Give me your absence, I will drink it slow
pouring galaxies into a cracked cup
I will wear your silence like velvet rust
and call it bridal dusk

Step through the mirror of dust
I am the room you left ajar
I am the hand you almost held
I am the vow that never spoke

Where shadows caress the pale, we stay
two winters married to one name
If dawn arrives, let it arrive blind
so it cannot break our shade

The glass forgets, the dust lies down
our shadows learn to sleep apart
Yet under the floorboards, love ticks on
a watch with no hands, still warm
