As the Shadows Grow Long
by Vials of Wrath

Album: Ataraxia 1 & 2

As evening approaches
And shadows grow long
My thoughts drift to times past
Of family and friends
Youth that never ends
In a memory no one ever grows old

How I miss that childhood bliss
To be young, naive and sinless
Realities cost is innocence lost
When nightmares are no longer dreams

Just as summer's shade
Becomes autumnal shadows
A place that once gave comfort
Now renders me so cold

And just as the only constant
is change
I gain solace knowing the one
Who transcends every age

As evening has passed
And the shadows are gone
My thoughts drift to tomorrow
Of family and friends
A new day will begin
Full of joy and sorrow

How I miss that childhood bliss
To be young, naive and sinless
Realities cost is innocence lost
When nightmares are no longer dreams
