We are but shades and shadows Little more than dust Empty and hollow Sullen shades and shadows, little more than dust, broken and empty inside Hearts created hollow, hopeless and lost, loveless, lifeless and blind On all these quiet faces, there is no pleasure or pain Their empty hands hold nothing, barely a flicker of life still remains Ghosts upon the gallows, choked by despair, without breath, without joy Haunted by sorrow, sightless we stare, into the void When there is no tomorrow, there is no dawn There is only silence here when all hope has withdrawn All those we loved in life, ignore and pass us by Forgotten and forsaken, naught but phantoms in their eyes This is the dry land, where no life dwells And the stars in the sky, have been frozen in time This is an endless winter, where life is doomed to wither And restless spirits linger on, like an echo of those who are gone Lovers pass in silence, longing for release, from this place of quiet torment No rest for the wicked, no promise of peace, only strangers walk these lifeless streets Here there is no joy or sorrow, no life or love for us to mourn When there is no tomorrow, there is no dawn There is only silence here, when all hope has withdrawn This is the dry land, a place where no life dwells And the stars in the sky, have been frozen in time And the stars in the sky, have been frozen in time
