Shadows in the East

[Verse]
Night rolls heavy like a rusted train
Ashes fall where hope was slain
Dreams unravel in a blood-red sky

[Prechorus]
A mother whispers
"Hold my hand"
The earth won't answer
It can't understand

[Chorus]
Shadows in the east
They grow
They grow
Hearts are breaking where the rivers flow
Who can say where the light will go
Shadows in the east
They grow
They grow

[Verse 2]
Fields once golden now are graves of stone
Voices echo but they're all alone
The wind hums low
A hymn of loss and pain

[Bridge]
Tell me why the stars don't shine tonight
Tell me why the moon hides its silver light
When will the dawn bring a softer glow
Or will these shadows forever grow

[Chorus]
Shadows in the east
They grow
They grow
Hearts are breaking where the rivers flow
Who can say where the light will go
Shadows in the east
They grow
They grow
