Tale of the Shadow - Compos Mentis

A journey through the land of the dead and hollow

Towards the radiance where treasure is dug

Down through the valley of the shallow

Escaping silently from the forest’s fog

My precious shadow, it might now seem

That time has come to revive your flame

The wilderness' daze has blurred your gleam

But I’ll obey the calling and surrender to the game

Expand the narrow horizon with streams of wine

Before the milk will strengthen my sorrows

I seek for what was always mine

The rise and fall of a kingdom’s prime

Brief visions of a flag that time has torn

Mountain peaks lend voice to the wind

Angel choir cries, enticingly they sing

As I reach for the dawn in sin

Forgive this obsession and the forging of wings

Humility is blessed with nothing but scorn

To the piercing sound of the hollow horn

True will dares death without tears

The rise and fall of a kingdom’s prime

Brief visions of a flag that time has torn

Towards the beautiful view with the immense roar

Prayers under the azure emptiness of time
