The Shadow

Dark are the clouds
Which hang over me
Cold is the night
In which I sleep
Heavy falls the waves
That roll from the sea
But dry are these tears
Which I weep
But deep from within they seep

And I know, oh I know
There's something growing in me
Oh I know, oh I know
It's something burns that to be free
But tall is the shadow in which it resides
And freedom is something
The Shadow never abides
Oh, oh, oh

And it's black and it's blue and it's all over you
Oh, all of of his lies they all seem too true
And he whispers to you
Says you're fighting in vain
Says there's no use for running
You'll never escape
Oh, it's black and it's blue and it's all over you
They're no longer lies if you prove them true
Oh, didn't you?
Oh, haven't you?

Restless beats
This heart in me
Weary is the mind
From which I speak
Far away is the place
Where I wish to be
But it's more than a distance
It's progress I seek
But meek intentions prove weak

And I know, oh I know
All is revealed in the end
Oh I know, oh I know
I can't be afraid to begin
But dark is the pathway
Where I set my sights
Oh, the Shadow's lies cover up
All of the lights
Oh, oh, oh

And it's black and it's blue and it's all over you
Oh, all of his lies they bear the same hue
But you've got to push through
Cannot give in again
Cause there's no use to fighting
Without finishing
Oh, it's black and it's blue and it's all over you
There's no strength to lies
If you prove them untrue
Oh, you've got to
Oh, you've got to

And I see
Oh, I see
A burning in the night
Oh, I see, oh I see
I finally see the light
Oh, oh, oh

No more black
No more blue
No more bruising from words untrue
No more black
No more blue
No more letting your darkness seep through
No more black, no more blue
No more letting words bruise
No more power to lies from you
No more black, no more blue
No more shadows that loom
No more hiding my shame
From view
