Dark Tranquillity – Shadow Duet lyrics

Voice of the Shadow of Beauty - Friden
Voice of the Shadow of Darkness - Sundin
Shadows play - in my wilderness'
Mindscape they seek;
One spiteful and wicked,
One humble and meek
A windswept pale landscape
Of edified thought
Two frictional forces
A triad have brought
Woven within me, the aerial mist sink falling,
Slowly traversing the atmosphere calling
A soft breeze whispers slowly
In the valley in my mind
And its breath, both foul and holy
Is like the deer to a dying hind;
Wordless - yet in soul so true
Nameless - yet it lives in you
Shapeless - like the purity of pain
Lawful - when all fear is slain
One shadow of beauty, caressing the flowers
The paleness of winter reflects in her eyes
Deity of stardom, Enticer of stardoom
Maternal - eternal, blinded by visions
Serenity fades with the darkening of skies
Of sunlight nocturnal
One shadow of Darkness, a shade of deep hate
A wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze
In sheets of sharp silver laid youthful to die
Reborn into vengeance, dark flames dance in grace
Dark flames dance in grace
The grace of Storms
One shadow of beauty,
One shadow of darkness,
Sailing free on the seas within my mind
Surging dark oceans - perpetual waters
Creator of life and reclaimer of souls
Mother Ocean!
Watching the deep fjords uneasily moving
Whipping the white waves towards the cold air
Rising like swans in a sacred, sudden motion
A cascade of lost feathers adrift on the sea
Hark!
A serenade in the tongue of the wind...
The sight of Centuries, so sonorous in the bower,
Hovering further athwart a leafy cower
A sh
