Shadowless they came
Driven out from underneath the twilight of the south
Took my breath away
Half the world said that I had gone too far out
I just happened to be there
You would've done the same

Silver

All they offered me
All the whispers in the yard as I came in with you
You cut my spirit free
With promises to change it all and make the dream come true
I just had to let it go
The pain was just too strong

Silver

It had to end one day
Someone had to take the blame and this time it was me
You wanted it that way
As you led the people 'round you heard them call your name
Things got out of hand
Way beyond the plan
