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

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...
