When the Shadow Takes You Over

Can't you hear me

I am praying up to Thee

Please take this Shadow back from me

Can't you see me

I'm still crawling on my knees

Please take this burden away from me

We still keep our view

On the silvery mountain

Until the Great Shadow will take us away

We're wasting our coins

For our life's fading fountain

Until the Great Shadow will take us away

Should we ever live this disillusion?

Should we live our broken dream inside?

And after all I wonder

What I have become

A shadow so relentless,

Emotionless and numb

Should we ever live this disillusion?

Should we live our broken dream inside?

And in my darkest hour

I take you once or twice

Then turn my back upon you

Your beautiful disguise

We still keep our view

On the silvery mountain

Until the Great Shadow will take us away

We're wasting our coins

For our life's fading fountain

Until the Great Shadow will take us away
