Majestic shadows move, covering the sky
A sudden shiver in the golden weave of life
All colours fade, and all beauty melts away
As the lush and bloom burn to dusty grey...
Where did it go, the splendour that i used to know
Where do i stand, ash covering my promised land
To whom do i speak, as the voices proclaims my defeat
How can i rise, as i behold my shattered paradise
I feel so deadly cold, and my limbs feel so tired and old
Like frozen lava time is slow, yet year the slip and go
A dust-covered statue worn, i stand dark and forlorn
Like a monument erected for the hope-neglected
They came so close,
I should have known,
I should have seen
Shadows
Creeping forth they came,
From the corners appeared,
Shattering my dreams
Shadows
I welcomed those dreadful shadows, i opened my door
To let them in....
In my shadow world
Far from the sun
Where the springtime will never come
All is frozen here, (to winter) succumbed
In shadows i reside, in the ruins of my former life
Where laughter died, and was traded for the bitter lies
My minds own treason, i have yet to fully understand
Filled with dark regret, i know i will never ever accept
As i sink beneath the waves, sinking like a stone
I cannot breathe, and life is slipping away,
There i find myself... my peace...
