Shadow World
Paragon · Law Of The Blade [2011]
Reveals a long deserted plain
Vultures are waiting – feel the chill
The blood is boiling in our veins
Forced to believe in the reality of dreams
Stranded on a strange world
Open our eyes to a nightmare of a scene
Stranded on a hidden world
A world behind the sun
Black and grey shadow world
The lord of evil has won
Grey and black shadow world
We look above and feel the fear
The greatness of a second moon
As other planets seem so near
A dying warrior beats his drum
A light breeze uncovers human bones
Relicts of the unfortunate ones
The red sand nearly buries us
Creating new desert dunes
In the distance across the plain
We see a range of black hills
Silent voices whispering their name
Where the lord of evil dwells
