The Shadow Lyrics - Mary Black

And it's over now 

The guns have flowed 

The nightmare flashed 

On a cradle road 

As the guilty rain came down 

No child to hold 

Through anxious fears 

No gentle hand 

To catch the tears 

That soak this ancient ground

The smile that breaks so gently 

Belies a troubled head 

Like a voice that holds the secrets 

Of the life you might have led 

Eyes with pale indifference 

In danger and in grace 

But the glance that knows the death-knell 

Left it's shadow on your face 

In the deep enduring darkness 

As your loyal friends go down 

Touched by the violent crown 

'til their hunter's hunted down

The web is slowly woven 

The endless dreamers shed, 

In the dawn the curfew is broken 

On the sunday morning's dead. 

Centuries of thunder 

Take the castle in the flood 

To the cold night air of london 

Where you hands are bound in blood. 

Mid winter deepened 

As the parting turned inside 

A thousand times you cried 

But the shadow never died. 

And it's over now 

The guns have flowed 

The night mare flashed 

On a cradle road. 

As the guilty rain came down. 

No child to hold 

Through anxious fears 

No gentle hand 

No graceful years 

Just bitter ancient ground. 

But it's over now
