Shadow of former glory that I watched the bright light run with the melting sun And that Shadow of former glory Cant say that I am what I once was Your hand cant carry the light forever Hold on too long, thats what everyone does Shadow of former glory Its hard to tell what I once knew A lifetime to me, but fifteen to history Just gotta face the fact that its true
Only shadows can creep at night They can haunt your dreams while you sleep The wisps of what you were slip through your mind s you grab at the memory buried deep A shadow of former glory Just a wink in the eye of fame Maybe the next torch will last a bit longer Just gotta run the course of the game
