Majestic Shadows -

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

Draining, choking, drowning

Majestic shadows

Draining, choking, drowning

Majestic shadows

Draining me, choking me, drowning me

Majestic shadows

Draining me, choking me, drowning me

Majestic shadows

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…
