Blind Guardian
Violent Shadows (WWW Live Performance - 2021 Mix)
[Verse]
Don't turn away
Don't close your eyes
In false pride
Will you protect the light
Reflect or shine
That's your choice
We're heading straight into damnation
For an unknown God
It needs a lions heart
It needs a pure soul
Or we're condemned
[Bridge]
I will not surrender let it be
I will not surrender
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Time, it makes no difference
No difference
That's why we should never cross the water
We ride into the raging storm
Hatred's never-ending
[Chorus]
Take us to break free
Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Underworld
Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep
[Post-Chorus]
Drown your pride
Young slave
Obey your master (Master, master)
That's all I can teach
Obey your master
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Try it makes no difference
No difference
Come out and believe it
Now bring your precious daughter
Get out, reach out and believe it
Now listen and
[Chorus]
Take us to break free
Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Underworld
Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Now bring me your sacraments
The dead will not complain about it
Cry it makes no difference
No difference
A bridgeman should never cross the border
Now come and face the raging storm
Hate, it's never-ending
[Chorus]
Take us to break free
Skydancer
Down where the violent shadows breed
Hide in the underworld
Underworld
Skydancer
Hide where the violent shadows creep
[Outro]
In violent shadows, we're all condemned
In violent shadows, we're all condemned
In violent shadows, we're all condemned
In violent shadows
