Shadow and Light

"I love you but it's not to be,"

A fair Maiden whispers to her Knight,

A silver arrow into the dark

There is shadow and light

Some men pray to something higher

To ease them from their plight

But the only thing I ever put my faith in

Was shadow and light

In a forgotten book from long ago

Some ancient hand did write

From the beginning to the end

Let there be shadow and light

I've wrestled with my conscience

Between what is wrong and what is right

And inside me armies marching

And there is shadow and light

The bad blood that ties me

The rope I walk is tight

There's nothing there to catch me

Aside from this shadow and light

The moments washed up in the dark

Like stars they burn so bright

I offer up a blessing

To the shadow and light

If there's nothing left here for me

Then I guess I will take flight

But I know I've left a trail for you

In the shadow and light
