Shadow Road

The brighter the light
The deeper the shadow

We walk the shadow road
If you do it right
No one will know
As a whisper
A rumour
A thought passing by
We are the prophecy
We are what's to come
Turn our wounds into wisdom
And be ready to run

I don't run from my daemons
I learn their names
And fight to keep them
Locked in chains
As they attempt to entice me
With their charm
Little do they know
I'll do more harm
I am the foe
Who patiently waits
They may be quiet
But they're never sedate

Here on the shadow road
Dark and deep
I offer you
Eternal sleep

Death is a rite
We all must face
An ancient force
You cannot abate
I'll rise from the shadows
Revered not feared
By the ones who despise
When you come near

We walk the shadow road
If you do it right
No one will know
As a whisper
A rumour
A thought passing by
We are the prophecy
We are what's to come
Turn our wounds into wisdom
And be ready to run

Brought forth from the shadow
I seek to tame
The darkness from the void
Creating chaos and pain
In the icy grip of winter
I despise
Those who think they know
Have more respect to show
I am the nightmare
Haunting their dreams
More terrifying
Than I seem
