The Shadow Balled - Inspired by Carl Jung

You really wanna rage… but you see—rage fits you too well. Hell stretches miles behind your smile. Good for you if you can swear… Sometimes profanity’s the prayer that saves your soul. [Verse 1] Yeah—walk through hell and keep your eyes wide. Look at what you hate, don’t hide. Everything that burns your pride’s your guide— quietly watch, don’t divide. Give soul to the soulless, breathe to the void, outta horrible nothing, life’s employed. Redeem your other, turn dark to birth, alchemy’s rage reshaping earth. Your values pull you higher, your being drags you down. Both can’t live together, but the road runs through the town. You can’t stay mountain, can’t stay vale, the way itself’s the holy grail. Every climb leads to shadowed turn, every fall’s where truths return. [Chorus] Rage if you must—but watch it burn. Every curse you speak’s a prayer in turn. Hell ain’t death, it’s how you learn. Fire refines, not just adjourns. [Verse 2] Your heights—your mountain, your throne alone. Live your own life, not the common drone. The crowd’s forever, but never your own, they live what’s endless—you live what’s grown. Endlessness is being, not becoming. Becoming’s torment, always running. How can you rise if you never ground? Bottom feeds the top profound. You need your lowest just to climb, your depth’s the reason for your prime. Honor darkness as you do light, you’ll only shine when you bless the night. [Chorus] Rage if you must—but watch it burn. Every curse you speak’s a prayer in turn. Hell ain’t death, it’s how you learn. Fire refines, not just adjourns. [Verse 3] Comprehend the dark and it claims you deep. Night descends, stars start to creep. Silence hums, black peace seeps, fears dissolve while the soul sleeps. Only those who flee the night are blind, those who face it—realign. The abyss looks back, but that’s design; simplicity is god refined. You sink to sleep through millennia’s womb, ancient chants echo in your tomb. The simple always was—blue night, calm bloom. Peace spreads eternal, death resumes. [Outro] Rage if you must—but watch it burn. Every fall’s a holy turn. Hell reveals what hearts unlearn— From dark to light, the soul returns.
