Shadow of the Past Lyrics

Album: Eventide

THE SHADOW OF THE PAST

Run and hide, buried inside, the betrayal and the lust

Hide the light, bring the dark you can’t stop the beatings of your heart

An image, a story, a rose and the glory

The future can be reached only through the fires of the past

For the years turned to days, for the lives that gone astray

They are coming, you can’t hide they will smash the gates of your heart

All the pain and the fears

All the agony and tears

All the shadows of my life

That they never come in sight

All my dreams and my pride

All my shames and my cries

All the shadows of myself

Take place and life in this light

All that’s alive cast their light

Even a candle can bring shadows into life

Become the light, breed the dark

And the shadow of the past

You are blind in the dark

You hear nothing but the beatings of our heart

So remember my words

There is silence in the dark you’ll be alone

There are dreams lost in there

Hopes and fears that you never shared…

Love and tears buried there

And the sun is also hidden there

And a figure cold and dark, the resemblance chills your heart..

Stand up and face the truth

Look at the eyes of your wasted youth

The sun only shows the way, it’s you who accepts the way!

It’s your demons and your heart

It’s your season so play your part

It’s the dept to your self

The name, the face, the dark

And as the sun brings life in both dark and light

So you give birth to the shadows of your life…

All the ghost who cry in the night

All the darkness in your life

That’s wrapped in shame and raised by pride

They are just the shadows of your light

(And you and only you can give them life!)

All that’s alive cast their light

Even a candle can bring shadows into life

Become the light, breed the dark

And the shadow of the past!

You are all the shadows of your past!
