Shade Lyrics

[Words & Music: T. Björn]

 

 It knows no time, life or race

 Terminates, leaves just an empty space

 It rises high, black and shapeless

 Falls low, smooth and soundless

 

 All in it's way, will be gone like yesterday

 Crawling faster, our disaster

 

 Now it has come to take us there

 To the place where we all beware

 And who knows what it has to show

 We'll figure it out from down below

 

 Next in line, a sorrowed face

 Swept away, end of chase

 Another foolish desperate try

 Keeps me asking the question, why?

 

 Prayers are good, for lack of sense

 The final stand, darkness so dense

 

 Now it has come to take us there

 To the place where we all beware

 And who knows what it has to show

 We'll figure it out from down below

 

 Even though the sun might shine now

 The shade will come and tuck you in

 Even if your life's divine now, it too shall end

 

 You're in denial, trying to turn away

 But it will catch up on you someday

 Maybe tomorrow or the next decade

 But everyone will face eternal shade

 

 Even though the sun might shine now

 The shade will come and tuck you in

 Even if your life's divine now it too shall end
