Living like a shaman
Reading stars in the night
And feeling the spirits
We are the same
Just cosmic reflections
In a pool of life

I speak to the shadows
My constant companions
I speak to them
But they don't speak back

Dying like a soldier
Fighting through front lines
Tanks and bombs
Bullets to strike me down
A manifestation
The pain of life

I speak to the shadows
As though they understand
And I understand them
We cry together

Being as a madman
A lunatic howling at the moon
With a pain I can't forget
A pain that pushes me on
A realization
The truth of life

I speak to the shadows
With nothing in my hands
A hole in my heart
And a hope that they can hear
