lyrics

Softly as a shadow's sigh shadows walk,
And there walk I.
Shadow's darkness in my soul.
Shadow power is my goal.
Power to give, and power to take,
Power to build and to unmake,
Power to make you writhe with pain,
Power to take it back again.

CHORUS: You shape wood, and earth, and stone.
I shape flesh, and brain, and bone.
Soft tree-shapers, Healer-wives;
You shave living. I shape lives.

Softly through our shadowed halls
My thoughts steal, and rule them all.
Some have tried my rule to end;
Pain and power are shadow's friend.
For he spoke insult to my face;
I stand here, and he is Brace.
She who sought my rule before;
I was stronger ... She is Door.

CHORUS

Free the Flyers, but it remains
That they'Il return to seek their chains.
Hooded falcons who think they're free,
And follow to my lure, and me.
For every thought they own is mine;
My will wreathes theirs like a vine.
For the love I cannot have,
Pain and power my balm and salve.

CHORUS
