Thannos - Shadow Painted on a Wall Lyrics

Lately there's been talking on the streets
The tides are turning every way there is
The other day I saw a shadow painted on a wall

And I don't really know what year it is
Or how I'm stuck in the middle of all this
Well it don't take a genius to figure this one out

Silence breaks before you hear the sound
The sound which foretells the end of all you've known
Nothing's calm before the storm, or so I've been told

Lift me high above then let me down
Let me feel the splash down to the ground
One thing out of two shall crash
The Earth will shatter or it will be me

Lately there's been whispers on the streets
The air is heavy, filled with treason fuelled by grief
Doesn't every empire's turmoil
Come from those who were scorned?

The only thing you'll see then is a flash
The kind that hurts your eyes and leaves you blind to witness
The darkness lying inside your wretched head
And then you'll wonder where you are
Oh, my poor friend I hate to tell you: It's all you

I don't wanna be the kind to run
Run, run, run, when battle has begun
Maybe when all this has ended
Then I can start

Let me hear your voice out of the crowd
Let me know you're waiting past the cloud
Make a promise you can keep
And I'll be strong to see that day arrive

Find each other and walk to the light
