Close your eyes forever Don't stare into the sun Let's go back to the beginning Where we've only just begun So close but yet so far, upon the velvet sky Welcome to the Shadowland Where everything is so dry and hollow Caught in a wonderland A strange world is hard to swallow Stay alive and wonder, Strange things you see We are caught in a landslide Where it's to dark to see So high but yet so low, upon the velvet sky Welcome to the Shadowland Where everything is so dry and hollow Caught in a wonderland A strange world is hard to swallow Walking through the desert sand, an illusion sight Everything I've seen so far, echoes endless fight All I want for what I know, leaving me alone Shaded light, starry night, stare into the night Strange illusion caught in time forever (Welcome to the Shadowland) My mind is tripping overload tonight (Welcome to the Shadowland) Life is a wonder of a shadow (Welcome to the Shadowland) Stranded mind, a hollow face tonight (Welcome to the Shadowland)
