The Fool

In the Shadow of the Light

I lived as a Shadow of my past Life

In the Shadow of the Light

In the Shadow of the Light

Tears of the Father, Blood of the Son

Through Years of Dishonor, come undone

So I'll armor myself with this Knowledge

And I'll match my Speed to the Wind

I'll journey away, far from this Place

And pray, none will know me as a "Friend"

In the Shadow of the Light

I lived as a Shadow of my past Life

In the Shadow of the Light

In the Shadow of the Light

By Moonlight and Starlight

Those Shadows let me astray

Take Comfort in Darkness

Hide me away from the Light

Her Hand gripped mine

I went with an open Mind

But the Light she shined on me

Burned me deep down to my Bones

And I promised I would never

Allow myself to feel the Light again

Through the Flesh that sloughed from the Bone

Was blackened and diseased

That Flesh was not my Flesh

That Blood was not my Blood

Yet still in the Shadow I hide

Drag me back into the Grave

And let me die

Cling to comfort, Child

No longer suffer with Pride

The Pain healing, wait not

For Time will surely not wait for thee

Is that the Ticking of the Clock

Or the Beating of your weakening Heart?

Hear the thunderous Rumbling
