Shadow of former glory
that's what I heard her whisper to her friend
I watched the bright light run with the melting sun
And that's when I knew of the good day's end

Shadow of former glory
Cant say that I am what I once was
Your hand cant carry the light forever
Hold on too long, thats what everyone does

Shadow of former glory
Its hard to tell what I once knew
A lifetime to me, but fifteen to history
Just gotta face the fact that its true

Only shadows can creep at night
They can haunt your dreams while you sleep
The wisps of what you were slip through your mind
s you grab at the memory buried deep

A shadow of former glory
Just a wink in the eye of fame
Maybe the next torch will last a bit longer
Just gotta run the course of the game
