Running through a rust-locked city Tired eyes yet hearts still beating Iron-clad the steam clouds climbing higher Shadows dance and pistons screaming Can you hear the darkness breathing? Stairway to the surface; yet we close our minds We wait for a time We wait for our lives Is the sunrise just a dream we lost? A Day we left behind? Is there life on these streets? Is there something left for me? Are we what we we've always been before? We are shadow born. Fighting past our infestation Metal bites at deprivation A specter of the harmony we knew before Gears grind through automation Cursed we cry in isolation Hard hold our heads high when our life is low Father's song, mother said, Does it linger in your head? Talisman, round your neck, Does it fill your heart with dread? Welcome to our world of shadow Welcome child, embrace your sorrow Wardens of the light now raise their banners high Yesterday was our tommorow Leave a trail; your soul will follow Hanging onto daydreams where the sun still shines We wait for a time We wait for our lives Is the sunrise just a dream we lost? A Day we left behind? Is there life on these streets? Is there something left for me? Are we what we we've always been before? We are shadow born. We wait for a time We wait for our lives Is the sunrise just a dream we lost? A Day we left behind? Still the fire burns inside But I've waited all my life To believe in what we dreamed before We are shadow born.
