LIGHT AMONG SHADOWS LYRICS

1. Welcome… Back!

My dreams told me you would come
there’s something wrong with your eyes
are you haunted by those poison dreams too?
You made a truth out of lies

These walls, these stairs, these rooms
and everything you see…
Is this room what attracts you?
It’s this room what defines me

Is it you what lurks at the threshold?
What do you want from me?
I can see through the fear you bring
you’re not the girl you used to be

These all cracked walls were never your home
you’ve changed and evolved but now you are lost

Always looking back
always afraid of the dark
a flickering shadow quickens up my heart
Now you stand before me
increasing all my fears
a neverending threat
whispers in my ear

Is it you what lurks at the threshold?
What do you want from me?
I can see through the fear you bring
you’re not the girl you used to be

These all cracked walls were never your home
you’ve changed and evolved but now you are lost

There is no humanity in you
This place is not what you want
why can’t you understand you don’t belong here anymore?

Is it you what lurks at the threshold?
What do you want from me?
I can see through the fear you bring
you’re not the girl you used to be

These all cracked walls were never your home
you’ve changed and evolved but now you are lost

It was never your home
you’ve changed and evolved
now you’re lost
you’re lost
welcome back

2. Children Of The Underworld

We were denied our future
it was set for us
bound together
over our past
We will tame our anger
it won’t be released
fighting against the urges
of our inner beast

Oaths sworn under banners of Justice and War
of Justice and War

We are Children of the Underworld
This pain can’t be undone
We are Children of the Underworld
And we are forever lost

We’ve got the strength that we need
to overcome our fears
Others stand in our way
we won’t shed a tear

Others can’t fade our destiny
we’re living in a dream
Other’s won’t stand against us
won’t tell us what’s real

What is your heart’s desire?
What is the price to pay?
We’re just children led astray

So when you’re feeling down and loney
Don’t you lose your way
Every night is the beginning of a brand new day

Oaths sworn under banners of Justice and War
Of Justice and War

We are Children of the Underworld
This pain can’t be undone
We are Children of the Underworld
And we are forever lost

3. When You Close Your Eyes

Tell me what you see when you close your eyes
tell if I’m there right by your side

Embrace me and don’t let me bleed anymore
without your guiding light I am so lost

Your smile took away my fear
but darkness grew in every tear

You can’t control what you feel
what does it mean?
I’m just a lost child
led astray tonight

Close your eyes
Tell me what you see
Close your eyes
Tell me if it’s me

Take my hand tell me I am not alone
in this strange world that is not my own

Why can’t I feel your touch?
Why can’t I feel your breath?
A million thorns in my heart tearing me apart

You can’t control what you feel
what does it mean?
I’m just a lost child
led astray tonight

Close your eyes
Tell me what you see
Close your eyes
Tell me if it’s me

4. Homecoming

I see a wolflike thing coming over a dark river, just above a waterfall, the starlight shining up his pelt. I see a brown oak leaf blowing far up in the sky. I see a small bat flying. I see many other things, running through the forest trees and slipping through the highest branches; and they’re all coming this way.
[Ray Bradbury – Homecoming.]

5. Of Wonder And Horror

She thought she could recover her life
but it was already gone
what she found broke her heart into pieces
(she was) just a stranger to her own world

Nobody missed her
Nobody knew she was gone
Nobody could hear her screams
Nobody could help her

She found her place was taken over
by a stranger living her own life

And she got away
with tears in her eyes
knowing she was lost
and would never be missed

Down that road
she kept crying in the still of the night
With every step reminding her of her life
of her lost life

Nobody missed her
Nobody knew she was gone
Nobody could hear her screams
Nobody could help her

And she got away
with a broken heart
knowing she was lost
and would never be missed

Nobody missed her
Nobody knew she was gone
Nobody could hear her screams
Nobody could help her

And she got away
with a broken heart
knowing she was lost
and would never be missed

6. Through The Maze Of Thorns

All the leaves are yellow
all the grass is brown
all the nights are longer
as the sun goes down

Crows are in the branches
wolves are in the wild
Others are in the shadows
welcome my child

As the days grow shorter
you won’t forget your home
it’s not the time to look back
’cause now you are alone

Through the maze of twisted thorns
there’s a gate to another world
Through the maze of twisted thorns
there is where you may lose your soul

Don’t waste yourself embracing the fear
that lies within anger and sadness
wipe away your tears

As the days grow shorter
you won’t forget your home
it’s not the time to look back
’cause now you are alone

Through the maze of twisted thorns
there’s a gate to another world
Through the maze of twisted thorns
there is where you may lose your soul

As Summer fades, the night awakes
the slow death of the green brings the promise of night
A promise that must be fulfilled with the first light of the day
earthbound by an Oath when Winter falls upon this realm

Passion is never lost
those desires can’t be undone
as before my eyes
Autumn unfolds

As the days grow shorter
you won’t forget your home
it’s not the time to look back
’cause now you are alone

Through the maze of twisted thorns
there’s a gate to another world
Through the maze of twisted thorns
there is where you may lose your soul

7. Lost In A Sea Of Nightmares

Is this a dream or a nightmare come true?
voices everywhere calling from the dark

There’s an ill moon raising in the blue horizon
without salvation we are doomed into the Void

It’s too late
the door’s already closed
the stairs are falling
deep into the hole

I am lost in a Sea of Nightmares
I feel so lost
but I am running on

Ivory towers everywhere
overcome by eternal ivy

Dark woods hiding the light of the day
where twisted creatures want me to stay

It’s too late
the door’s already closed
the stairs are falling
deep into the hole

I am lost in a Sea of Nightmares
I feel so lost
but I am running on

No matter how far I run
they are always there
those feral eyes
I can’t scape from it all
they will find me
it’s never enough

It’s too late
the door’s already closed
the stairs are falling
deep into the hole

I am lost in a Sea of Nightmares
I feel so lost
but I am running on

I am lost in a Sea of Nightmares
I am so lost and alone

8. Mirage

“There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we learn and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are dulled and prosaic with the poison of life. But some of us awake in the night with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes that ride caparisoned white horses along the edges of thick forests; and then we know that we have looked back through the ivory gates into that world of wonder which was ours before we were wise and unhappy.”
[H.P. Lovecraft]

9. Dreamshaping

Right in the eye of the storm
you are not alone
right in the eye of the storm
you are not so lost

All those bad dreams
are gone with the wind
come with me
embrace me

Don’t cry for what you’ve lost
Don’t mourn what is gone
Let me take you far away
and you’ll never be alone

Let me shape your dreams
you’ll find me in your sleep
Let me shape your dreams
A new world for you and me
Dreamshaping
Dreamshaping
Let me shape your dreams

I’ll be there when you’re feeling blue
I’ll walk you out of your darkest fears
share your dreams with me
let me be all you need

Just the two of us fighting against the tide
Let’s fly over the pain
Let’s leave it all behind

Come closer
take my hand
open the door
and don’t look back

Let me shape your dreams
you’ll find me in your sleep
Let me shape your dreams
A new world for you and me
Dreamshaping
Dreamshaping
Let me shape your dreams

10. The World Behind The Mask

Still keep looking at that place
that place I can’t reach
so far away from me
cleansing all my sins

tears streaming down my face
a never ending love
there’s just one path
that leads from love to death

You can be free as long as you deserve
a dream to achieve, a sin without regrets

You don’t know I’m not gone away
still chasing your scent
still trapped within these regrets
I will never be the same

A tree crying dry leaves
shadows clutching at my throat
I need you to feel

Joy and Sorrow, love and hate
with maddening intensity

There’s just a reason to return
to leave your dreams behind
coming home
to get your real life

You can be free as long as you deserve
a dream to achieve, a sin without regrets

you can be free if you deserve dreams to achieve
without regrets

You don’t know I’m not gone away
still chasing your scent
still trapped within these regrets
I will never be the same

You may have forgotten it
it hasn’t forgotten you

My emotions rise and fall
like empires collapsing
in my eyes a world that no one sees
I’m nothing but a dream

If only you could see what I see
If only you feel the way I feel

This dream’s over
welcome to my nightmare
this dream’s over
you won’t wake up no more

You don’t know I’m not gone away
still chasing your scent
still trapped within these regrets
I will never be the same

I will never be the same

11. A Tarnished Mirror

The Nightmare’s found me once again
I can feel it
the thing that should not be
wounds and thoughts entwined
without humanity

A tarnished mirror
returned from within
a hidden curse
turned her into a changeling

12. Back To Where You’Ve Never Been

You’ve been looking for something
that you’ll never find
you’ve denied all the marks in the path

You keep longing for something
that you’ll never have
you were never meant to come back

maybe it’s time to walk away

Now you’re back
back to where you’ve never been

Now you are a stranger to yourself
a broken angel in paradise
where nothing ever remains

You must find the shattered pieces of your heart
a place that can’t be torn apart

The trail was there
every time you closed your eyes
leading you back home
through the hopeless nights

maybe it’s time to walk away

Now you’re back
back to where you’ve never been

You must find something to fill the void
something that can’t be destroyed
a new place without so much hate

Now you’re back
back to where you’ve never been

13. Alone

So crying in the rain
where no one could see her tears
looking for something to ease away her pain

She crawled into the branches
looking for shelter
not aware of the danger
of the earth collapsing

A silver gate stood before her
revealing a mythical realm beyond imagination

Blinded by desires
she couldn’t tell apart
the true nature of that fairyland

There are no safe doors in a dream
Nobody there to hear your screams
And you long for something that is already gone
And you realise that you’ve always been alone

Her mind blocked all the horrors
she went through there
but her memories were a beacon
showing her the way
twisted thorns tore her skin and flesh
leaving nothing of her human self

She didn’t want to walk away
but she had lost everything
and she finally found what she was looking for
something she had never had before
to release the thoughts and emotions trapped in her mind

There are no safe doors in a dream
Nobody there to hear your screams
And you long for something that is already gone
And you realise that you’ve always been alone

In the loneliness of her heart
she got away with tears in her eyes
walking her own path
embracing the dark
unvealing all her lies
leaving all behind

There are no safe doors in a dream
Nobody there to hear your screams
And you long for something that is already gone
And you realise that you’ve always been alone
