Shadows Yet to Come lyrics

The fires burned The altars fell The dust was swept away The people gathered The songs returned And still The silence remained Questions lingered in the air Like smoke after the flame Can broken years be mended? Can forgotten choices fade? Or do they wait beneath the surface Patient as stone? You have turned But the river remembers You have changed But the scars remain The room stood still No voice replied No argument could be found Some truths arrive like comfort Others arrive like winter The future moves Beyond our sight Through roads unseen And distant nights What is planted Will someday rise Not every storm appears in the sky The shadow is coming Not for today Not for tomorrow But it is coming Shadows yet to come Beyond the horizon Shadows yet to come Already on their way The warning settled Like a weight upon the heart Not a sentence Not a defeat Only a reminder That time remembers everything Walk while there is light Build while there is time Shadows yet to come Beyond the horizon Shadows yet to come Already on their way
