Here lies shadow,
Hence, nothing more,
Phantasmically bestrewed across the floor.
For all time more. For all time more.
Fear to ask from whence it bore,
This person’s cast upon the floor.
For all time more. For all time more.
Strangers hear from every shore,
The tale of shadow that moves not for,
All time more. All time more.
The tale of life from distant lore,
Which through times’ pass,
You more implore.
(A tale that you can’t ignore)
For all time more. For all time more.
An unknown land lost in war,
A person lived behind closed door.
For all time more. For all time more.
Closed off from all
That makes hearts soar,
And none to hear the pain it bore…
To the shadow left upon the floor.
With the knowledge gone before.
Lost behind a clos’ed door,
Far off on a distant shore.
Told in an ancient lore.
For all time more. For all time more.
