Shadows

In this land of chance do we know right from wrong
Even at a glance we know the road is long
We don't owe a single thing to anyone
Most of us do not believe in come what may
Everything we fought for was in vain they say
Even when called upon to throw our lives away


We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories


In these times of trial and uncertainty
I have thought what does this freedom mean to me
Is it just some long forgotten fantasy


Our love for each other may not be explained
We live in a world where tears must fall like rain
Most of us don't wish to cause each other pain


We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories


To every unsung hero in the universe
To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth
To all good men of reason may they never thirst


We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea
And faith that will remain through all eternity
We try to be helpful to the ones in need


We have been captured by the thieves of the night
Held for ransom if you please
Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories


Heaven help the devil may he have a few unpleasnt memories
