Perennial Quest - Cast Into Shadow Lyrics

Bone is to dust
As blades will rust
Rise is to fall
As time wastes us all
And Heroes burn
And men wont learn
And saviors die...
All saviors die

A hero to the times, he brought faith to desperate lands
Prosperity to all
He Held freedom in his hands

The people raise his likeness
In statues made of stone
They adore the ground he walks on
Across the seas he's known

He feels himself a man
But to the masses who adore
He represents a vision
Of life worth something more

Savior to lost souls
Brought hope to hollow hearts
Enlightening doubtful cynics
Until one day it fell apart

A hero crushed in body and soul
Until one fateful night he lost control
Burned by the flames on grounds
That were hallowed
Descending to darkness, cast into shadows

But the brightest of all suns will eventually burn out
Consuming worlds in darkness
Submerging minds in doubts

His name weighed down his sense
Until madness made him blind
The pressures of his fame
Grew like cancer of the mind

The peoples anger rose
They feel they've been deceived
They curse his name and likeness
As they cry for him to bleed

They desecrate his statues
They riot in the streets
An empire brought to hell
Now burning at his feet

A hero crushed in body and soul
Until one fateful night he lost control
Burned by the flames on grounds
That were hallowed
Descending to darkness, cast into shadows

Cast Into Shadows
Cast Into Shadows

A hero crushed in body and soul
Until one fateful night he lost control
Burned by the flames on grounds
That were hallowed
Descending to darkness, cast into shadows

A hero crushed in body and soul
Until one fateful night he lost control
Burned by the flames on grounds
That were hallowed
Descending to darkness, cast into shadows

A hero crushed in body and soul
Until one fateful night he lost control
Burned by the flames on grounds
That were hallowed
Descending to darkness, cast into shadows
