Shadows Lyrics

From grave we turn

To shadows we fall

Utopia dead and gone

Dreams turned to ash

To shadows we go

Through black forest I walk

Blade ever in my hand

Already have I slain a foe

Wicked blood down my blade flows

There's power in the dark

Embrace the shadows of your heart

Give in to my wise counsel

I've been driven mad

I've been driven mad

I've been driven mad

The witch's head over my shoulder

She speaks to me, her eyes a-smolder

Some monsters stand in the light

Her itching voice in my mind a fright

Heaven's radiance has left me behind

Lost am I in these woods, every shadow hides a lie

The angel on his shoulder

Stays close as nights grow colder

Don't listen to that witch

Stay true to innocence

The poison in your mind

Left by a snake's disguise

The venomous bite of greed

A power hungry seed

Was planted, it grows

It sprouts through the soil

It forms its roots around earth's coil

And spreads like a disease

Bathe in rays of gold

On heaven's silver road

Stay noble in despair

And climb the holy stairs

Don't you want fame and fortune

Don't you want the dragon's hoard

Don't you want to reap the riches and the grandeur and rewards

I care not of glory

I seek to end your crimes

I'll write the ending to this story and conclude your wretched time

Bring me to the coven

Off the beaten path

Let me undo what was done and you can live at last

You mistake me for a hero

I cannot be persuaded

All i seek is your pain, your begging to be slain

From grave we turn

To shadows we fall

Utopia dead and gone

Dreams turned to ash

To shadows we go
