Children Of The Shadows - Kerry Livgren

All along the western shore, where the sea meets the sky

No remaining gates of gold, where once they stood high

In the pride of flesh and blood, built on walls of sand

Dreams of glory swept away, never destined to stand

Shine on, shine on deep in the night

Shine on, shine on ever so bright

Light the way for the children of the shadows

Reaching down to the legions of the lost

Light the way for the children of the shadows

Counting the cost

Towers streching to the sun, cities known of old

Many by the sword have fallen, both the weak and the bold

As the ages come and go, so the seasons of man

Holding on to a pale reflection, as it fades again

Shine on, shine on deep in the night

Shine on, shine on ever so bright

Light the way for the children of the shadows

Reaching down to the legions of the lost

Light the way for the children of the shadows

Counting the cost

Ever remaining the chosen Son, given the name of the Holy One

Through the centuries never changing

From the present to the past, by Your hand the future is cast

What a tale the past would tell, if the ruins could speak

Through a glass we are darkly peering

Knowing now what we seek

Shine on, shine on deep in the night

Shine on, shine on ever so bright

Light the way for the children of the shadows

Reaching down to the legions of the lost

Light the way for the children of the shadows

Counting the cost

We will stand against the night
