Lyrics

Shadow Chase Chant

I am a torrent of wings on the wind
I am the sound of breath on your neck

When will you turn,
and face what you flee
 
No rest, no peace until you meet me

I am the feeling of falling asleep   
I am the dream that follows you still  

When will you turn,
and face what you flee
 
No rest, no peace until you meet me  

I am the promise you made before birth
I’ll follow you to the end of the Earth

When will you turn,
and face what you flee
 
No rest, no peace until you meet me  

When you embrace me - you will be free 
I am your shadow and you are my light

When will you turn,
and face what you flee
 
No rest, no peace until you meet me
