From my Tower I behold the landscape below I see the river of blood in fury flow I stare into the night, yet my vision's clear From the distant villages every word I hear
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide I have seen the abyss and all that lies within I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
Thy shadow swept by like an angel fading to grey Thy eyes were like weakening candles leaving the flames to die Thy pale cold face, once so full of life Now it's torn as of thorns of ice Thy towers fell to the ground
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide I have seen the abyss and all that lies within I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
Shadows over a dark lost kingdom The dark clouds are neverending
Yes, this is the land, the land of the black horizon Where the shores are covered with the bodies of thy followers Triumphal vengeance, dethroning the shape of thou Fade I say, wither away
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride At the black horizons, my eyes and soul's the wind I am the great shadow and I was born in sin
I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride At the black horizons, my eyes and soul's the wind I am the great shadow Behold my land of sin!
