Captain Caravan - Shadow King

Saw the shadow of a ghost today
It startled me then it ran away
I chased it until I could no more
The colours drained from her face

I heard a unknown voice today
It told me to stay away
I had to look and pulled the drapes..
With a flicker the flame was gone

We have forgotten how to listen, we never learned how to see
We talk and talk and nothing is done
All we can do is feel, but we don't understand it

I am the Shadow King
Unaware of my own shortcomings
Consumed with one thing
Overstimulated and bored
Driven to win but already lost
When you lose yourself
You are the last one to know

I give to you my angels share, if it is mine to give
A gift of life from me to you
The sweet vapour of my soul, inhale the fumes to warm your bones

We have forgotten how to listen, we never learned how to see
We talk and talk and nothing is done
All we can do is feel, but we don't understand it

I give to you my angels share, if it is mine to give
A gift of life from me to you
The sweet vapour of my soul, inhale the fumes to warm your bones

Shadow of your kingdom
Darkness in your mind
In this shadow, I am king
In the darkness I am everything
