• In a small town, somewhere in red country
    Somewhere the town may gloriously spare
    He and she are there, playing in pair
    In the meadows, where they can be

    Their love seems so long-lasting
    Seems nothing will split them both
    Like their love is written in oath
    All in word, all with meaning

    But what is this thing forming around her
    A shadow, so dark and impure
    Many have tried, but failed to cure
    This shadow that forms on a lover

    This shadow splits them both apart
    And leaves him there in the meadow
    And steals her away, this shadow
    So makes him sad with a broken heart

    Soon after he sees a ray of light
    Maybe this is the thrust for him
    But soon this light turned to dim
    And all alone he lost his sight

    Wondering why the light betrays
    With no hope for him remains
