Frail as a line in the sand We'll write the tale of man Slowly like leaves in decay We'll fade away
Flames lead the lost through the night And still we drown the light Under the ash of our past The embers last
Through it all Still shadows fall Cast their shade on man Dazed and worn We gaze upon All we build in vain Only our shadows remain
We watched the dark arise We felt the ground rumble We looked beyond the skies And left the earth as our mountains crumbled
They taught us all to climb All while the mountains grew They gave us grasp of time To watch us long for our chance to go
Through it all Still shadows fall Cast their shade on man Dazed and worn We gaze upon All we build in vain Only our shadows remain
And now the shadows are falling Hear the distant past calling Taking charge of our weakened soul In all that we do
And in the river of tears We shed the weight of the years While looking back on the things we did And all that we knew
Here at the end All that we were is now you Still we go Through it all Still shadows fall Cast their shade on man Dazed and worn We gaze upon All we build in vain Only our shadows remain
