Lantern of Shadows by Cordelia Cross Lyrics

Lantern of Shadows by Cordelia Cross Lyrics

 

[Verse 1]

Through the jagged peaks and the whispering pines

A lone hero wanders, tracing fate’s twisted lines

A flicker dances just beyond the path ahead

A shadowed companion with words unsaid

 

[Chorus]

Lantern of shadows, lead me through the night

Guide me with riddles, through fire and fright

You hide your story, yet I follow still

A spark in the darkness, bending to my will

 

[Verse 2]

They laugh without sound, a ghost behind my shoulder

Hints and half-truths make the journey colder

A cryptic grin, a wink in the mist

Every choice I make seems tied to their twist

 

[Chorus]

Lantern of shadows, lead me through the night

Guide me with riddles, through fire and fright

You hide your story, yet I follow still

A spark in the darkness, bending to my will

 

[Verse 3]

At the edge of the chasm, I falter and pause

Their voice cuts through the gloom without a cause

“Fear is the lantern, courage the flame”

I step forward, knowing nothing is the same

 

[Final Chorus]

Lantern of shadows, lead me through the night

Guide me with riddles, through fire and fright

You hide your story, yet I follow still

A spark in the darkness, bending to my will
