In The Shadows of the Kitchen

[Verse] In the darkness of the night, I toil alone A servant in the shadows, a soul undone (undone) The flames dance upon the stove, flickering low Whispers of the pots and pans, my only song (oh-oh) [Verse 2] With every cut and every slice, I bleed within No respite from the heat, my skin's burning (burning) In this gloomy sanctuary, where nightmares roam I find solace in the darkness, where I belong (belong) [Chorus] In the depths of the kitchen, I find my peace Gothic gospel of sacrifice, my eternal release Bathed in the shadow's glow, I find purpose tonight In this world of knives and fire, my soul takes flight (fly, fly, fly) [Verse 3] In the clatter of the dishes, my heart's rhythm is found Echoes of forgotten recipes, spirits unbound (unbound) The oven's warmth is my comfort, the fridge hums my tune Among the herbs and spices, I'm no longer marooned (marooned) [Verse 4] Each meal a ceremony, every dish a prayer In the steam, I see visions, in the smoke, I stare (I stare) The culinary alchemy, my sacred art With every brew and simmer, I mend my heart (my heart) [Chorus] In the crucible of the kitchen, my spirit soars Amidst the sizzle and the sear, my faith restores In the sanctuary of the stove, I'm reborn each night With every flame and ember, my soul ignites (ignite, ignite, ignite) [Chorus] In the crucible of the kitchen, my spirit soars Amidst the sizzle and the sear, my faith restores In the sanctuary of the stove, I'm reborn each night With every flame and ember, my soul ignites (ignite, ignite, ignite)
