Shadows Of War

(album: Shadows Of War / Lightning Strikes - 1986)

Never talk to guardian angels, never look at evil past
The dying swan of sad creation, going fast away
We are born again like a phoenix passing
Vanish like a soldier's death
Hear the breath of moving thunder
Red hot blow the ashes to the sky

Shadows of war, screaming past lies
Shadows of war, emotional ties

It comes, a deeper nightmare
Fly away to the holy place
Can the keepers guide forever
Will they make us pay?
We are born again like a phoenix passing
Vanish like a soldier's death
Hear the breath of moving thunder
Red hot blow the ashes to the sky

Shadows of war, lovers gone blind
Shadows of war, time out of mind

Can the rulers guide forever, will they make us pay?
We are born again like a phoenix passing
Vanish like a soldier's death
Hear the breath of moving thunder
Red hot blow the ashes to the sky

Shadows of war, time out of mind
Shadows of war, lovers gone blind
Shadows of war, time out of mind
Shadows of war, lovers gone blind...
