Project Arcadia - Shadows of the Night

I see the shadows of the night
Coming down like rain
Drowning all the world in darkness
And as the daylight slowly dies
I ask myself again
How did life turn into this madness?
Oh, Heaven is so far
Will we ever reach its holy light
before it is too late?
Oh, we’re movin’ on so fast
The more we live we learn
Although we love we also hate

It’s not too hard to see
to imagine what it takes to change
To change the way we live
But do we ever try?
As long as we are twice removed
Expertly distancing the pain
Too far away just one wall thick
And we’re all blind and deaf

At ease!
This show goes on forever
That's right!
That's right; Our world's in tears

I see the shadows of the night
Coming down like rain
Drowning all the world in darkness
And as the daylight slowly dies
I ask myself again
How did life turn into this madness?

We’ve got so much - Want ever more
and you wonder what's amiss
There's an emptiness inside
that only love can fill
We know this oh, so well
and it’s the only way
Inside your heart and mind
I know you hear Earth's children sing

With every step we take they echo louder
It’s time to make our final choice

And I see madness in the light
evaporating rain
Blinding all the world in its madness
And as compassion slowly dies
I ask myself again
Can I forgive? Can I forget?
