Haunted by Shadows

[Music: Edlund/Hanner / Lyrics: Sjogren]

Nowhere to go, I'm drifting off

I once was told to trust

In nothing but the eternal heights

And the stars are calling my name

Falling through skies of a new dawn

Nothing can ever change what I've become

I used to be the one in life

Seeking challenges and distant paths

Still, shadows haunting me

In fragments of what used to be

The illusion slips from my hand

As I arrive in newborn land

Heaven is blackened by clouds

Like a Masquerade with the stars

But an aura of starlit energy

Unmasks the biggest lie of all

Before my dusk the image fades

The sky is bound to fall

Nevermore shall I return

The mindless thought is gone

Thunder and rain keeps us from sanity

This journey will never end

Denied by our human vanity

Unclad by the revolutionary mind

Still, shadows haunting me

In fragments of what used to be

The illusion slips from my hand

As I arrive in newborn land
