THE DREAMS OF A SHADOW
------------------------------------------
Fortune call upon the dreams of a shadow
and we carry on...
When I reach down inside, try to say goodbye
There is nothing left inside of me
When I'm holding on to you, and you try and get me through
There is nothing left inside of me
...but THE SHADOW
(Dreams of it follow me forever more)
"What seems to be the problem" is what they say
(and we carry on)
(You are calling out my name)
and it's pulling me from the void just to be here
(you're calling out my name)
and it's packing me back down just to see you
(you're calling out my name)
and I wanna run away from it
(you're calling out my name)
Did you ever know that it hates me?
(you're calling out my name)
Scratch me, break me, and it's aching
Fortune call upon the Dreams of a Shadow
and we carry on... The Shadow
Fare thee well my friend
Give em the old attaboy
Send you on your way
Farewell, we'll miss you my friend
We hope to see you again
But it is not likely
The Shadow, the dream of it, it hollows me
The Shadow, the dreams of it follow me
The Shadow, dreams of it hollow me forevermore
