Shadow

[Verse 1]
And there goes the sun
In dark we run
Dimly, through the trees
Not a chance to grieve
And I look above and I look below
I cast a long shadow
Light getting low
Harder to breathe
As smoke fills the trees as we flee

[Pre-Chorus]
Shake of the earth
What was it worth: this time?
I don't know why, not a clue
Black rain cast down upon me, heavy
Bled down to the exposed root

[Chorus]
The crack of the bell rang out in the city
The people gnawed their tongues for pain
The time, the timе had come
For them to fill up the street
As thе toll, toll of the bell
Announced their king
Paralyzed in the shadow of their emperor
They raised up their glasses high
Cheered, cheered and they screamed
"Who can war with our king?"
These words they uttered deep
"We can never die"

[Verse 2]
As I thank God for freedom from this shame
There's no escape from the darkness of this age
The shadows cast over time in the shade
The mob it runs
Cries for blood and for pain

[Outro]
Ring of the bell
What will the pale hour bring?
For you and for me
The world waxed cold
Under the golden head of blasphemy
