Shadowplay

[Verse 1] Fly upon a brainchild With unashamed delight Bending over backwards day and night Our world's collapsing Like a house of cards A stagy farewell waits without regard We are hanging in the balance Are we beyond a remedy? It was taken out of our hands And we face a tragedy [Chorus] Why, why are we here? On wild soil we roam And love to call it home We are vibrant with life The will to survive Ways to go astray In this shadow play [Verse 2] Skimming stones on water Only yesterday Into cosmic dust we now decay Kindred souls and spirits Bound by energy Who can say what is reality? Do we flog a dead horse? Just eternal bliss Leaves us back to hope for The former times we miss [Bridge] (We are) We are driven by emotion (And we) And pray the bond won't break (Devotion) So strong is our devotion (Our being so strong) Our being is opaque [Chorus] Why, why are we here? On wild soil we roam And love to call it home We are vibrant with life The will to survive Ways to go astray In this shadow play [Verse 3] I have seen the cascade The souls between light and shade Not a drop in the ocean, forever we The spirit of infinity [Chorus] Why, why are we here? On wild soil we roam And love to call it home We are vibrant with life The will to survive Ways to go astray In this shadow play
