Lengthening Shadows Songtext
von Goatron

Waves crash, the storm devours
All light in small hours
She′s gone but in my head
I hear her voice, nothing else
I know where the witches dwell
I know it well
Knowledge forced upon me
By those in the well
As shadows grow long
I hear the shortest song
One chorus, no verse
Time to end this curse
I almost feel sorry
For the poor little girl
She lost her dear father
And now it's her turn
Lengthening shadows
Turn the torn pages
I′ve studied the manuscripts
Studied for ages


Lengthening shadows
Guide my mind
Underline the hidden meaning
Let me bring you back to life
In three restless nights
The stars will be right
And lovers unite 'midst the pines
She should not have trusted
This malicious soul on which
Solitude has taken its toll
Secret signs, mesmerizing words
Watching the silent birds
Wearing my black suit I wait for the stars
Thoughts travel far
It is finally time
Night sky has cleared
The moment I have hoped
And feared
As if nature
Scorned my deceit
The drifts of snow
Clutch at my feet
Branches are ripping
The skin off my hands
As I approach
Their forbidden lands
Lengthening shadows
Can no longer be seen
Only the starlight
Is guiding me
Lengthening shadows
Blend into black
I must go
And bring her back
On this auspicious night
The stars are now right
And lovers unite 'midst the pines
She should not have trusted
This malicious soul on which
Solitude has taken its toll
Lengthening shadows
Can no longer be seen
Only the starlight
Is guiding me
Lengthening shadows
Blend into black
I must go
And bring her back
Bring her back
