Shadow Duet Lyrics - Skydancer/of Chaos And Eternal Night - Dark Tranquillity

voice of the shadow of beauty - sung by Anders Fridèn 

/voice of the shadow of darkness/ - sung by Mikael Stanne 

shadows play 

in my wilderness' mindscape 

(they seek) 

/one spiteful and wicked 

one humble and meek/ 

a windswept pale landscape 

of edified (thought) 

/two frictional forces 

a triad have brought/

woven 

/a soft breeze whispers slowly/ 

within me 

/in the valley of my mind/ 

the aerial mists sink falling 

/and its breath both foul and holy 

is like the deer to a dying hind/ 

slowly traversing the atmosphere 

calling 

/wordless, yet in soul so true/ 

nameless, yet it lives in you 

/shapeless like the purity of pain/ 

lawful when all fear is slain 

-one shadow of beauty caressing the flowers 

the paleness of winter reflects in her eyes-

deity of stardom 

/enticer of stardoom/ 

so soft and so silent 

/maternal - eternal/ 

serenity fades 

/blinded by visions of sunlight (nocturnal)/ 

with the darkening of skies 

/one shadow of darkness 

a shade of deep hate 

a wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze 

in sheets of sharp silver 

laid youthful to die 

reborn into vengeance 

dark flames dance in grace 

dark flames dance in grace 

in the grace of storms/ 

one shadow of beauty 

/one shadow of darkness/ 

sailing free on the sea within my mind 

surging dark oceans 

perpetual waters 

creator of life 

and reclaimer of (souls) 

/mother ocean/ 

watching the deep fjords uneasily moving 

/whipping the white waves towards the cold air/ 

rising like swans in a scarred, sudden motion 

/a cascade of lost feathers 

adrift on the sea/ 

hark 

/a serenade in the tongue of the wind/ 

the sighs of the centuries, so sonorous in the bower 

hovering further athwart a leafy cover 

/a shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither 

and therefore they choose to guide this time-wind hither 

alas, in tune with the tide of time 

i was, but I'm not 

nor I'll be with its pride 

yes, aeons have flown 

but more is to come 

for I know time/ 

but time is not eternal, their lifestars not immortal 

/a friend that I greet with open arms/ 

setting souls can never 

/a brothersoul of deadly harm/ 

pass through the pearly portal 

no bliss be given 

/and joy/ 

nor joy 

/flowing down the gates of hell 

fire/ 

i cry for you... 

/don't spill your tears for me 

but for your kit and kin/ 

my scions of light? 

/deprived of the lust and the treasure of pleasure 

which is the fuel for life 

and glory/ 

silent your dark desires within entirety's light 

-solitude 

sanctity 

sanctuary 

sanctum (sanctum) 

sanctum- (tranquility) 

hear me 

/you who hold the fate of stars in hand 

before creation's eye I stand 

my soul set free/ 

in summerland 

mighty the strand of the universe 

/a chaosvoid tomb of dead worlds/ 

hark 

/what?/ 

divinity flows in your heart 

cast it alight, the seed of all art 

slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind 

/silent, you fool/ 

a cradle of roses 

embedded in stillness and shade 

/silent, you fool 

thine words are untrue 

remember Endymion's crestfallen tears 

serene art the gods, yet pain is their way 

he touched by the heavens 

his hellfire nears 

a silent divinity, now see your body (of air)/ 

free now your heavenly body of air 

come bathe in the rays of the all-seeing one 

holding the fate of all life in both hands 

breathing life-force 

like gold made from sand 

/my winged steed of moonlight 

black stallion of thunder 

we rode above the greenish earth 

and tore the green asunder/ 

but what you left bleeding 

destroyed a soulforsaken world 

and your deeds of sharp silver 

decoyed a mindforsaken herd 

a duet of shadows 

a duet of shadows 

a duet of thoughts 

a duet of thoughts 

of beings we feed 

with the dust of our thoughts 

residing within us 

the two-fold wheel of life 

of insight created: a triad of jewels 

(a thin leaf of the life-tree's truth)
