Where There Is No Shadow lyrics

An upright man must walk

In the land untainted, untouched

Where there is no shadow

Beneath the direct sun

Bowed in humble stance

For shadows long are troublesome

Full of envy, full of spite

They await confrontation

Or procrastination's fading light

Dimming compassion's twilight

There is no shadow in the night

There lie in wait the scoundrels

That backbite and wiley whine

Drowning in a sea of alcohol

Or a dose of substances numbing

The time unmeasured lost

Arises in dawn's wake profiling

Casting silhouettes shamed

By daybreak's rude awakening

Wishing the contours could fade

The brilliance of a noble truth

The noon day's sun's rays

Blazing into squinting eyes

Tearing up in bewilderment and angst

Withdrawals of the shaded soul
