Lyrics
The Shadow Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This time I'm standing tall not scared of what might come
For I have told you like it is
I raise my head up high to look into your eyes
But you just hold your knife and wait until I turn
Those thorns inside
Will pierce your armoured heart in time
Stop hiding behind
The shadow wall will slowly crumble down
You're holding on to all the things that might be safe
For they are just a strange collection of mistakes
You little baby, stop shaking, face your life
So I can teach you how to dream
Why try to leave this, is it too scary
Are you afraid of what the rest of it might bring
Beware of the void it might dissolve you
Isn't it time to start again
Take this time in your own hands and leave it all behind
Close the void inside your soul
Be fire and be blood
Beware of what the pain might bring
Beware of what sorrow brought
'Cause this is what the time has given you today
