Shadow

Shadow, to the edge of night

Through the land that once shone bright

Shadow, it is drawing near 

And with its name it carries fear

Shadow, it is taking hold

Grasping all the lands of old

Shadow, it is closing in

Using fear to take from within

Shadow, it holds all dark

No escape for any from the dark

Shadow, it hold all fast

Now I fear how long it shall last

Shadow through the darkest night

Now the light shines so bright

Shadow no longer holding ground

Now dragon and rider have been found

Shadow through the edge of night

No more way to match their might

Shadow will your pride stoop 

Now the dragons of old group

I wrote this to go with a book idea I have an I will probably put more of that on here. This is supposed to be a song the bold letters are extended sounds the shadow lines are one note the others are wavering. when sung it sound lamenting as the character that wrote is knew the land before the darkness came but knows she will die when the light comes again so she misses the time before the dark.
