Violent Shadows
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.
Don't turn away
Don't close your eyes in false pride
Will you protect the light?
Reflect or shine?
That's your choice
We're heading straight into damnation
For an unknown God
It needs a rebel heart
It needs a pure soul
We're the condemned
I will not surrender, let it be
I will not surrender
Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Try, it makes no difference
No difference
The bridgeman, he must obey the order
Turns straight into the raging storm
Hatred's never ending
Save us, set us free
Sky dancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Sky dancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep
Drown your pride, young slave
Obey your master (master, master, master)
It's all I can teach
Obey your master, master
Don't tell me you're innocent
Your guilt, there is no doubt about it
Crime, there's no deliverance, deliverance
Watch out and believe it
Your men, they will be slaughtered
Give up, you better believe it, your mission's to
Take us, set it free
Sky dancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Sky dancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep
No need for a settlement
Your claim, there's proof, I truly doubt it
Crime deserves a punishment, your punishment
The bridgeman can always cross the border
Your choice to make, it's one more step
Hear the chasm's calling
Take us, set it free
Sky dancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Sky dancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep
In violent shadows, we're all condemned
In violent shadows, we're all condemned
In violent shadows, we're all condemned
In violent shadows
