As One With Shadows

Cast down from the realm of fire
Where the flames burned their mark into your soul
Into the cave of damnation
This is not where you belong.

I fell as the flames slipped through my hands
Losing all I am.

Condemned to this world of reflection
What was once sacred truth to behold
Now paled in imitation
In the cave of the lost, the untold.

We are as one with the shadows
We are as blinded by the light
Held by the chains that enslave me
Bound by illusion.

We are as one with the shadows
We are as one with the night
But we can never escape from the shadows
We are losing our sight.

In the face of eternal frustration
There is nothing left
There is no salvation
Nothing to hide or to feel
In the cave of reflection
Where life isn't real.

No more
This is mere shadowplay.

We are as one with the shadows
We are as blinded by the night
I fell as the flames slipped through my hands
Losing all I am.
