From my Tower I behold the landscape below

I see the river of blood in fury flow

I stare into the night, yet my visions 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 its 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

[Guitar Solo]

Waaah!

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 souls 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 souls the wind

Behold the land of sin
