From my tower
I behold the landscape below
I see the river of blood
in fury flow
I stare into the night,
yet my vision's clear
From the distant villages
every word I hear

I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin

Thy shadow swept by
like an angel fading to grey
Thy eyes were like weakening candles
leaving the flames to die
Thy pale cold face,
once so full of life
Now it's torn as of thorns of ice
Thy towers fell to the ground

I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow and from daylight in my tower I hide
I have seen the abyss and all that lies within
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin

Shadows over a dark lost kingdom
The dark clouds are neverending

Yes, this is the land,
the land of the black horizon
Where the shores are covered
with the bodies of thy followers
Triumphal vengeance,
dethroning the shape of thou
Fade I say, wither away

I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and soul's the wind
I am the great shadow and I was born in sin

I am the almighty, the one with wisdom wide
I am the great shadow, no daylight over my kingdom ride
At the black horizons, my eyes and soul's the wind
I am the great shadow
Behold my land of sin!
