Shadows

Tell me then what do I say?
 When I have erred
 And others pay the Price
 What will they say
 When I look in their Eyes
 And tell them
 They didn't have to die
 Familiar old Songs
 The Trees used to sing
 When the Men of the World
 Relinquish their Fear
 It rings in my Ears, its all i can hear
 It tells me I must face their Ghosts
 We were the same only in Name
 Under the Eye of the old grey Mountain
 I carved my Heart from Stone
 What was the Cost?
 The Price I have offered
 Could not be paid
 And when my Day
 Has finally arrived
 What will I have to say?
 We had learned the Taste of Defeat
 The Pain of a Triumph stolen away
 If we don't persist then it will ring True
 We were doomed all along
 I made Mistakes that Day
 But the Night swept away my Pain
 I breathed the Air of the Dawn
 And lived without Regret from that Day on
 I recall simpler Day
 Tending Fields
 And broken Hearts
 Like the Songs we used to sing
 Like the Rain for which we prayed
 I wish I'd died on that Day
 Light of Day
 Killed away
 I remain
 Say Goodbye
 To the Pain
 Of Yesterday
 I slipped away into a fitful Sleep
 Greeted by their Gosts
 I held their Gaze
 They spoke low and long
 Friend be strong
 And carry on
 Now wake!
