A Time of Shadow

from A Time of Shadow by Dead Heroes Club

lyrics

All that you’ve ever seen in me,
Is all that I’ve ever wished to be.
The truth like a weapon cuts me down
That’s why I’ve been hiding underground.
A time of shadow has come,
All that I’ve worked for - undone.
A time of shadow has come…

As winter closed upon the dream,
I fell in out of summer’s evening.
“The future’s not all that it used to be!”
Cried a voice from out of the dreaming.
“There’s nothing more here I can do.”
Said the angel upon my shoulder.
And as her wings threw shadows on me - off she flew
Now I’m running out of time…

Get me out of here,
From the blood and the tears I’ve cried
Get me out of here into another place another time.
Look at the time…oh no!

As darkness drowned another day
I took passage on a ship of deceiving
“Deception’s not all that it seems to be!”
Cried the captain from out of the evening
“Through time and tide I’ll get to you.”
Said the hangman up by the gallows
And though I felt no fear then – still I knew
I was running out of time…

Get me out of here…

Raise your glass to the king - you know he lost everything.
When fame and fortune arrived they plucked out his eyes,
Gave his sight to the soul takers.
Barely cold in his grave, they re-packaged his name
And the moneymen knew, “what a great career move!”
Nothing sells like a fallen hero!

You and I we’re the same in a roundabout way:
Time will take what we’ve got and refashion the lot,
Until we can’t tell the saved from the saviour.
See how time marches on across the words of a song
No more seasons of doubt, I’ve got to find a way out!
Though I just don’t believe in it any more!

All that you’ve ever seen in me…

And so reality steals in,
It wakes me from the dreamer that I have been.
And so my love I’ll turn to take the strain,
But I don’t think I’ll be coming back again.
A time of shadow has come…

How suddenly I lose my strength
This is a time of consequences now.
From the lips of those I’ve loved
Poison words rain from above now.

These winter winds are blowing colder
There’s no angel on my shoulder now.
What the hell was I thinking?
Don’t consider just keep drinking…now.

A time of shadow has come,
With all of the saviour’s songs left unsung -
I am undone…
