Rise and Fall of a Shadow

[Verse] In a land of sorrow dark Came a figure with no heart Sowing seeds of chaos deep Where the innocent now weep [Verse 2] Empty city silent skies Haunting echoes of the cries Power seized with iron grip History's harsh bitter sip [Chorus] Rise and fall in shadow's name Cruelty's fire endless flame Lost the heart in search of power Darkest days darkest hour [Verse 3] Fields of red where dreams are dashed Faces fade to ghostly past Whispered tales of horror's thread In the silence of the dead [Bridge] Nevermore this tale should thread Lessons learned from tears we shed Remind the world of what’s at stake Never let the darkness take [Chorus] Rise and fall in shadow's name Cruelty's fire endless flame Lost the heart in search of power Darkest days darkest hour
