No Shadow Goes Too Far

(album: Everlasting Flame - 2022)

Aiding the shadow
That has been above the world
Since time began
Fading the light
Within the hearts of those
Who plea for tomorrow

Aiming to swallow
Any reason there's to have to be a man
Trading for void
All of the hopes and dreams
That we should follow

All pressuring down won't break us
Can't measure the life within us
We can see the lies you feed

Fire to the shadow
Flame seeping through
Break the surface
That keeps us underneath
And keeps from breathing
One tear in the darkness
One rendering it harmless
No ways to measure who we are
No shadow goes too far

Waiting in silence
As the dust around
The land it seems to be
Hating the life
Around its horde
All the love and laughter

Seeding the science
Of a hopeless world
No room for you and me
Screaming in pain
For all is lost for the dark
If we should gather

All pressuring down won't break us
Can't measure the life within us
We can see the lies you feed

Fire to the shadow
Flame seeping through
Break the surface
That keeps us underneath
And keeps from breathing
One tear in the darkness
One rendering it harmless
No ways to measure who we are
No shadow goes too far

Pressure won't break us
You can't measure life
A crack in the darkness
Will let in the light

Fire to the shadow
Flame seeping through
Break the surface
That keeps us underneath
And keeps from breathing
One tear in the darkness
One rendering it harmless
No ways to measure who we are
No shadow goes too far
