The Shadowlands

In the Shadowlands, light is your enemy

In the Shadowlands, darkness takes your hand

In the Shadowlands, love is just a memory

In the Shadowlands, the hourglass is out of sand

*

Once upon a nothing

Arose a man from the sea

He plucked out all the heartstrings

And blinked out you and me

*

He walked the walk of ages

Executing his plan

By muting all the sages

He brought us to the Shadowlands

*

In the Shadowlands, everything means zero

In the Shadowlands, the only color is gray

In the Shadowlands, he is his own hero

In the Shadowlands, the liar rules the day
