Sybil and Everon travel through the valley of the Shards, a place where crystal creatures torture the minds of humankind.

SHADOW AND SHARD
Lyrics & Music: Alexander James Adams

You’re a fraud!
You are weak!
You are pitiful!
You are flawed!
Past your peak!
A sad spectacle!

We should know,
We see all,
We are still immortal-
Come or go,
Rise or fall,
You’re inconsequential!

You have lied!
You’re a thief!
You’re a failure here!
Falsefied
In your grief-
Let’s be crystal clear-

You have lost!
It is done!
You are disillusioned!
Pay the cost!
You’re the one!
Death is your conclusion!

WHAT WE MIRROR IS TRUE-
IT IS THERE WITHIN YOU!
WE DO NOT NEED TO LIE-
BY THIS DARKNESS YOU’LL DIE!

You’re afraid!
You’re inept!
You deserve this fate!
There’s no aid!
You’re bereft!
Now it is too late!

We all know
Who you are!
You deserve to suffer!
Every foe,
Left a scar-
Too bad you’re not tougher!

You’re a fraud!
You have lied!
You are weak!
You’re a thief!
You are pitiful!
You’re a failure here!
You are flawed!
Falsefied
Past your peak!
In your grief-
A sad spectacle!
Let’s be crystal clear-

We should know,
You have lost!
We see all,
It is done!
We are still immortal-
You are disillusioned!
Come or go,
Pay the cost!
Rise or fall,
You’re the one!
You’re inconsequential!
Death is your conclusion!

WHAT WE MIRROR IS TRUE-
(It is true!)
IT IS THERE WITHIN YOU!
(within you!)
WE DO NOT NEED TO LIE-
(we don’t lie)
BY THIS DARKNESS YOU’LL DIE!
(You will die!)

Everon starts counting…(1-12)
What’s next?
(13)
Murderer!

You have lied!
You’re afraid!
You’re a thief!
You’re inept!
You’re a failure here!
You deserve this fate!
Falsefied
There’s no aid!
In your grief-
You’re bereft!
Let’s be crystal clear-
Now it is too late!
You have lost!
We all know
It is done!
Who you are!
You are disillusioned!
You deserve to suffer!
Pay the cost!
Every foe,
You’re the one!
Left a scar-
Death is your conclusion!
Too bad you’re not tougher!

WHAT WE MIRROR IS TRUE-
(It is true!)
(This shall pass!)
IT IS THERE WITHIN YOU!
(within you!)
(You’re just glass!)
WE DO NOT NEED TO LIE-
(we don’t lie)
(Once, you mattered)
BY THIS DARKNESS YOU’LL DIE!
(You will die!)
(Now, you’re shattered!)
(Use your skill!)
We should know,
You have lost!
(I will keep my will!)
We see all,
It is done!
We are still immortal-
You are disillusioned!
(Though you have spoken,)
Come or go,
Pay the cost!
(I am not the one that is broken!)
Rise or fall,
You’re the one!
You’re inconsequential!
Death is your conclusion!
