Singing with the shadows, dreaming of an escape
They dance before me, bringing all but delight
Their souls are fierce with might, but here I am,
Defenseless and hopeless

Dreaming with the shadows, singing of a tune
Twisted and deformed with the notes
Wishing away all that was set up for me
Empowered and hopeful

The shadows change the the temperament of the mood
They whisk upon all of our souls
Bringing upon a sorrowful wind of competence
A painful determination of accomplishment
Thank you shadows, thank you
