Shadow Earth

From here to nevermore A function of madness soars A pawn in the endless time The puppeteer sheltered from the rain One without will, without cause A king with no crown No control, no control The question The truth? How could this be the answer? Around, around we spin Around, around until the end Around, around we dance Around, around, again and again A crash of sorrow on the shores of earth A joy of a distant world The helplessness, the despair Yet hope Letters in flames Lives torn apart The loss tearing, ripping at sanity So many possibilities, fleeting Dancing on the edge Of memory A world forgotten, a world of gold Oh how could this be the answer? How could this be my home? As pain takes the form in the rust of the old The shadow of fear, the shadow of war The chain broken Eternity foiled Vengeance spoken A hatred so old A crash of sorrow on the shores of earth A joy of a distant world And we hunt through space Hunt through time The letters burn on the shadow earth Lives torn apart The loss tearing, ripping at sanity So many possibilities, fleeting Dancing on the edge Of memory As the words takes on form The vanity is reborn Nothing left but the bliss of madness Everything and all Nothing is real A manic smile on the shore of sadness A voice from the past Greeting the chaos A warm embrace of a dream I'll descend into sanity I take my leave I'll welcome destiny A crash of sorrow on the shores of earth A joy of a distant world We hunt through space Hunt through time The letters burn
