Shadows Lyrics by Battlesoul

Tir na nOg

2013

Tell me then what do I say?
When I have erred
And others pay the price

What will they say
When I look in their eyes
And tell them
They didn't have to die

Familiar old songs
The trees used to sing
When the men of the world
Relinquish their fear

It rings in my ears, its all I can hear
It tells me I must face their ghosts
We were the same only in name
Under thе eye of the old grеy mountain

I carved my heart from stone
What was the cost?
The price I have offered
Could not be paid

And when my day
Has finally arrived
What will I have to say?

We had learned the taste of defeat
The pain of a triumph stolen away
If we don't persist then it will ring true
We were doomed all along

I made mistakes that day
But the night swept away my pain
I breathed the air of the dawn
And lived without regret from that day on

I recall simpler day
Tending fields
And broken hearts

Like the songs we used to sing
Like the rain for which we prayed
I wish I'd died on that day

Light of day
Killed away
I remain

Say goodbye
To the pain
Of yesterday

I slipped away into a fitful sleep
Greeted by their ghosts
I held their gaze
They spoke low and long

Friend be strong
And carry on
Now wake!
