We are but shades and shadows Little more than dust Empty and hollow
Sullen shades and shadows Little more than dust Broken and empty inside Hearts created hollow Hopeless and lost Loveless, lifeless and blind On all these quiet faces There is no pleasure or pain Their empty hands hold nothing Barely a flicker of life still remains Ghosts upon tha gallows Chocked by despair Without breath, without joy Haunted by sorrow Sightless we stare Into the void
When there is no tomorrow There is no dawn There is only silence here When all hope has withdrawn
All those we loved in life Ignore and pass us by Forgotten and forsaken Naught but phantoms in their eyes
This is the dry land Where no life dwells And the stars in the sky Have been frozen in time
This is an endless winter Where life is doomed to winter And restless spirits linger on Like an echo of those who are gone Lovers pass in silence, longing to release From this place of quiet torment No rest for the wicked, no promise of peace Only strangers walk these lifeless streets
Here there is no joy or sorrow No life ol love for us to mourn
When there is no tomorrow There is no dawn There is only silence here When all hope has withdrawn
This is the dry land A place where no life dwells And the stars in the sky Have been frozen in time
