Sarah Slean - Shadowland lyrics

I have been to the shadowland I heard the empty call Of hatred, anorexia Misery and alcohol By their hearths I warmed myself To escape from the winter years Until I saw in the window Myself crying fire-coloured tears Love, the only alchemy Love, the k**er of despair Love, the patient samurai Love, the armour angels wear Love They turned away the prophet Because she was young and full of longing Instead they turned to the magistrate Who was busy yawning And they try to sell me holy books But I can see their eyes are wild I caught them pouring shame and fear Into the perfect vessel of a child Love's the only alchemy Love the k**er of despair Love the true nobility Love the armour angels wear Love Love will make your eyes clear The order of the universe The only reason we are here
