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
