Cautiously I venture forth
Into the shadowlands of darkI
know not where to look or turn
But it brings comfort to my heart.

Standing on the outside
It looks cold and dark and grim
You'll find it worth the cost it steals
As they beckon you "Come in"

Chorus

The enticing lure it represents
Is screaming out my name
I'm desperate so I follow on
Despite the anguish and the pain

And yet somewhere deep inside
I hear a voice, "Believe it not!"
It begins to cast some doubt
Into this world that I was brought

Chorus

Despite what I do to silence
The call from deep within
I find that it just won't let go
But still I venture in.

But see, I find I'm paralyzed
By an all encompassing fear
I look around the Shadowlands
And find that barren souls live here.

Chorus:
In the deepening dark of Shadowlands
Illusion is the game
The interplay of dark and light
Quietly stakes it claim…….on you
