GRENDEL track 3 - Shadow In The Rain (Grendel)

[Verse 1] For years I listened from the dark For years I watched their numbers grow I heard their laughter fill the mighty hall While silence ruled my world below The songs rose higher than before A blade concealed in every line And something deep within me broke To know the light was never mine [Chorus] Let the bright hall fall to darkness Let them speak my name in dread Let them fear this shadow walking Through the nightmares in their head I thought the silence would bring peace I thought their fear would ease the pain But my emptiness remains unchanged I'm still a shadow in the rain [Verse 2] The great hall shook beneath my hands The ancient timbers groaned in fear Those voices that had filled the night Were now a storm of screams and tears No warriors stood to block my path No heroes answered to their cries The legends praised in every prose Were helpless when the darkness rose [Chorus] Let the bright hall fall to darkness Let them speak my name in dread Let them fear this shadow walking Through the nightmares in their head I thought the silence would bring peace I thought their fear would ease the pain But my emptiness remains unchanged I'm still a shadow in the rain [Verse 3] The songs gave way to shouts of fear The great hall's beams began to shake This source of warmth that welcomed all Was now a place of no escape Their joy was found within these walls Now horror paints the walls in red And all the dreams that filled this hall Lay broken with the fallen dead [Chorus] Let the bright hall fall to darkness Let them speak my name in dread Let them fear this shadow walking Through the nightmares in their head I thought the silence would bring peace I thought their fear would ease the pain But my emptiness remains unchanged I'm still a shadow in the rain [Bridge 1] No victory warmed my frozen heart No triumph eased my pain I took their joy away that night But I'm still a shadow in the rain [Chorus] Let the bright hall fall to darkness Let them speak my name in dread Let them fear this shadow walking Through the nightmares in their head I thought the silence would bring peace I thought their fear would ease the pain But my emptiness remains unchanged I'm still a shadow in the rain [Bridge 2] I thought their joy would finally end But the songs I thought I'd buried there Have found their voice again [Chorus] Let the bright hall fall to darkness Let them speak my name in dread Let them fear this shadow walking Through the nightmares in their head I thought the silence would bring peace I thought their fear would ease the pain But my emptiness remains unchanged I'm still a shadow in the rain [Bridge 2 reprise] I thought their joy would finally end But the songs I thought I'd buried there Have found their voice again [Chorus] Let the bright hall fall to darkness Let them speak my name in dread Let them fear this shadow walking Through the nightmares in their head I thought the silence would bring peace I thought their fear would ease the pain But my emptiness remains unchanged I'm still a shadow in the rain I'm still a shadow in the rain
