We're nothing more than shadows
   Light scatter of the dying sun
   Just particle beams in passing
   Waves riding the eternal dark

We're nothing more than shadows
Mere remnants of the distant past
Animated sparks of energy
Bursting flames of the end
 
We're nothing more than shadows
We grow tall then fade away
We're vessels for a surging power
With solar fire in our veins
 
We're nothing more than shadows
Flares blazing in a blink of an eye
We're nothing more than shadows
Glimmers of hope against the black sky
