Come To Me Shadow, Your Breath I No Longer Fear

Come To Me Shadow, Your Breath I No Longer Fear Come to me shadow, life-dancing has gone awry Earth's rotation has slowed, pale has grown weeping sky Even dawn and its glory dares to hesitate For what more is life, than a heavy anchor of Fate? So goes the passing of time, mankind's turbulent flow. Dare we acknowledge death's hand, its heart-wrenching blows? Come to me shadow, your breath I no longer fear For your powers fades away with my streaming tears In deep sadness, you were a foe fearsomely great Yet in my ravenous thirst, your powers I ate. So goes the passing of time, mankind's turbulent flow. Dare we acknowledge death's hand, its heart-wrenching blows? Come to me shadow, that I may lop off your head Punishment for agony you have oft me fed Know this, conquering you was my faithful vow Thus with newfound light and life, I live again now. So goes the passing of time, mankind's turbulent flow. Dare we acknowledge death's hand, its heart-wrenching blows? Robert J.
