I think I was happy when I was a child but now I mope and seldom smile the land of shadows left open the gate that I’m walking through Welcome to my shade I saw the world upside down I thought evil had left this town I thought that love was not a trade but I was mistaken Welcome to my shade Again and again repeating words while I’m only able to whisper my thoughts I shut them out, I swallowed my rage for the sake of nothing Welcome to my shade I could feel a lot but not myself it's biting me now, inside every nerve I believed salvation would come every day and I found it here Welcome to my shade I flew towards another spring but the winds of winter froze my wings I’ve lost my way but my aim's the same to sing of love Welcome to my shade
