Where Shadows Lurk Lyrics

Toward defiled lands
We gaze before the ravine
Carved by falling waters
Set ablaze by the deceiver

Once flowing with hope
Now frozen with grief
The barren mire strays
Embraced by fallen trees

Seeking the hidden gates
Obscured by a blackened cloak
Sweeping through mountainous shadows
We move ever onward

Through the brush and over veiled roads
To an unshown city of stone
My heart longing for deep seas
By wood and sinew I forge songs of thee

Before deep sullen dales
Pierced by fading green
Revealed a fearsome path
Shrouded by undergrowth

Light strangled by darkness
Through cavernous depths
Deceived by echoes foray
Glaring down into cold unknown

Over the mountains and through the gates
To an unshown city of stone
Towards a place where far light glimmers
Where one will be free from thralldom whispers

Gazing upon the great walls of stone
Its towers reach far beyond the sky
Many fair pathways lay across the plain
At last we have reached our home

None may be free to enter our unknown halls
For shadows lurk beyond our great walls
