SHADOW

FOUND MY MIND LIKE AN OPEN BOOK...LOST ON THE TOP SHELF
THE DUSTY PAGES ARE MERE REFLECTIONS OF A THOUGHT
AND I AM FALLING INTO MY SHADOW SELF
BLACK DAYS OF DARKNESS
SAW THE LIGHTNING STRIKE DOWN
SO PROFOUND…TOUCH GROUND

YEARS OF YOUTH CRAWL TO AN END
GROWING OLDER CAN I CHANGE THE PATH I WALK?
I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME
ON THE ROAD TO ANNIHILATION
I TRANSCEND THE FUTURE AND THE PAST
EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE
OF ONLY TODAY, JUST SECONDS AWAY
WHEN THE HOURGLASS BREAKS
THE SANDS OF TIME SLIP THROUGH OUR HANDS
COUNT THE MOMENTS...GRAIN BY GRAIN
MEMORIES DON'T FADE AWAY, THEY REMAIN
SALT IN THE SEA AND THE TIDE WILL BE TURNING
THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
MY FIRE'S STILL BURNING
FROM THE ASHES WE'RE BORN AGAIN
TO REACH HIGHER LEARNING
GALACTIC EMBRACE
GREAT CYCLE OCCURRING
THE PLANETS IN PLACE
AND WE ARE RETURNING
THE SUNS RAYS
THE MOON WAVES THAT SHINE
LIGHT ON THE AGE OF AWAKENING
WASH IT AWAY

WHY ALL THIS PAIN?
WHY ALL THIS FEAR AND ALL THIS HATE?
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO ESCAPE, TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH
INTO THE OCEAN BELOW
CAUGHT IN THE CURRENT, DROWN LIKE A STONE
UNDERTOW STRANGLEHOLD WON’T LET ME GO
WILL I SINK OR SWIM TO THE SHORE?

OVERWHELMING, WITHOUT WORDS TO SPEAK
AND I CAN BARELY BREATHE IS THIS JUST A DREAM?
I'M HALF ASLEEP

WITNESSING HUMANITY'S INNOCENT TRAGEDIES
EYE TO EYE WITH THE ENEMY,
A TESTAMENT TO OUR DESTINY
INTO OBLIVION BEYOND
HIGH AND ABOVE, LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME
OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND UNDER THE HILL, BE STILL
SINGING THE STORY OF OLD
SIFT THROUGH THE RIVERS OF GOLD
WHISPERS OF WISDOM UNTOLD

YEARS OF YOUTH CRAWL TO AN END
GROWING OLDER I CAN CHANGE THE PATH I WALK
ANY DIRECTION
