Manilla Road Shadow In The Black
Place that is not a place Vortex of fire The Gateway To all the outer planes Where life's own Magic mountains Circle beyond all time Feeding The Tree with white light Demons in dark disguise Shall never break The Lifeline Before The Throne Demon of wrath Not flesh nor bone A shadow in the black Cryptic The Spiral Way Even so in this space-age Leaving rectors dismayed Seeking out wisdom's daybreak Hidden by dark of night Not even seen by hindsight Spectre who plagues the mind Of Bards inside the limelight Before The Throne Demon of wrath Not flesh nor bone A shadow in the black Nightmare like is the unknown Demon seed guarding The Throne Test of faith probing The Soul Eight fold way of paying the toll Frost, from beyond the grave Fire, to burn us the way Rock, the strength of The Soul Fight, this shadow of old Here inside The Maze Trinity of Flame As the lightning cracks We banish the shadow in the black Holy war and righteous crusades Like burning Witches at the stake Narrow minds will never believe Until The Dead rise from The Sea
