Chant / Shades

(album: Requiem - 1982)

["Chant"]

We are falling, all falling
We are falling, falling, falling
Into the hands of darkness

We are falling, all falling
We are falling, falling, falling
Into the hands of darkness
Into the hands of darkness

["Shades"]

We are the shades of what might have been human
We are the shades of the animal kind
Gigantic by moonlight
Unformed in the sunlight
We are the shades that unsettle the mind

Shades in the light
Are shadows out of sunlight
Created in dreams and seen by the blind

Darkness within
Shiftings of shapes of sin
Nuclear fingers caress the sky

Dust is falling
Death is stalking
Seeking pilgrims to the shrine of darkness

Dust is falling
Death is stalking
Seeking pilgrims to the shrine of darkness
