about

A reflective moment, on the road to Shadowfell, alone in a semi-dry well when Everon remembers all the twelve Everons that have come before him.

lyrics

THE ROAD TO SHADOWFELL
Lyrics & Music: Alexander James Adams

Time is a road on which all of us tread
Some journeys remembered, though most are unsaid
History is made by the steps we all take
The future is ours to forge or to break-

A man can be Nameless, yet still be known well
By the footsteps he leaves where his own shadow fell
Though the world can be shattered, collapsing and torn
Love will ensure that mankind is reborn-

A Free man will travel with spirit unfurled
Creating new life on the Spine of the World
A Builder can restore a ruin to town
And a Great man can flourish until he’s brought down-

HOUR BY HOUR, DAY BY DAY-
LIFE INTO LEGEND, BALLAD AND LAY-
TOLD AND FORGOTTEN,
NOT TRULY GONE,
AND TIME GOES EVER ON-

A man can turn Mad by vengeance and fire
Or struck down by Tragedy in attempt to aspire
Be Lost in the mountains or by gain become Vile
To abandon his seed and of women defile-

(CHORUS)

Mankind must atone for the evils we do
By Exile or actions based on what is true
Though each of us signifies one grain of sand
All that we do is felt deep through the land-

All that’s been done here will never be known
Yet all of our footsteps till death we must own
We chose to live poorly or strove to live well
And Time is the road where our small shadows fell.

(CHORUS)
