Falls the Shadow

We're forming thoughts without meaning Raising voices without speaking Remember us, not as lost But remember us Between the rise and the fall Between the curtain and the call Between the shroud and the pall Falls the Shadow Uncertainty, now a universal state Uncertainty is obscuring our fate How are we to know what paths we are to take When disasters keep on crushing us, wave after wave Fragility is my new state of mind Fragility makes all around us blind These four walls are now all that is keeping me safe (keep me safe) As I create a world from which I can't escape We're forming thoughts without meaning Raising voices without speaking Remember us, not as lost But remember us With all we've achieved All the threads we have spun In death's other kingdom We all walk alone As life toys with us And knocks us down Hubris induced Kings with no crown We're forming thoughts without meaning Raising voices without speaking Remember us, not as lost But remember us Three mothers cradle the earth As the pendulum swings between our grave and birth Blunt scissors cut short the strands Of the tapestry made by our hands So this is how the world ends We're forming thoughts without meaning Raising voices without speaking Remember us, not as lost But remember us Between the rise and the fall Between the curtain and the call Between the shroud and the pall Falls the Shadow Falls the Shadow
