Your Voice in the Shadows

The embers are dying, the room is so still, The shadows are dancing out on the hill. I’m holding a picture that’s fading away, With so many things that I wanted to say. The wind is whispering secrets tonight, While I sit alone in the pale candlelight. You told me the world can be cruel and unfair, But you promised your spirit would always be there. Now I walk through the crowded and cold city street, Listening to the rhythm of mechanical feet. I look at the sky, searching for a sign, To know that your hand is still holding mine. And the storm starts to gather, the thunder is near, But it’s the silence inside me that I truly fear. The river is rising, the break of the dawn... But I have to stand up and keep moving on! And your memory echoes out in the rain! A burning fire that conquers the pain! I’ll scream to the heavens, I’ll fight through the dark, Carrying inside me your eternal spark! Brother, father, guide of my soul... Your voice in the shadows is making me whole! I’ll put on my armor, I’ll carry the shield, And face every demon out on the field. You gave me the courage, the will to survive, And that is the reason I’m still here alive. The road may be long and the night may be cold, But I’ll keep the promises that we once told. And your memory echoes out in the rain! A burning fire that conquers the pain! I’ll scream to the heavens, I’ll fight through the dark, Carrying inside me your eternal spark! Brother, father, guide of my soul... Your voice in the shadows is making me whole! We’ll cross that river when my time is done, Until that day comes, I’ll chase down the sun. I don't fear the shadows, I don't fear the end, Because at the finish, I’ll see you again. And your memory echoes out in the rain! A burning fire that conquers the pain! I’ll scream to the heavens, I’ll fight through the dark, Carrying inside me your eternal spark! Your voice in the shadows... It makes me whole. Just echo... in the rain.
