Shadow, please!
I know you’re there.
You mustn’t run and hide.
I need you now
To share my pain
Because of what’s inside

You’re all I have
You’re all that’s left
Now that I’ve passed away
Carry me now
To Light’s embrace
Beneath that sky of grey

That final day
My soul bleeds out
I will accept the cost
I know my life
My sweat, my tears
Save sorrow for the lost
