Out of the darkness they came <br />The Shadow men, the Shadow men <br />Their faces all look the same, <br />They speak; <br />'Come, come let’s play a game', <br />A promise to take my shame <br /> <br />Down to the void we went <br />The Shadow men, the Shadow men <br />To leave behind all malcontent, <br />They speak; <br />'It's time, it’s time to repent', <br />A moment of remembrance <br /> <br />Around they circle and dance <br />The Shadow men, the Shadow men <br />Their movement speeds as they prance, <br />They speak; <br />'Here be, here be a final glance' <br />An offer of one last chance <br /> <br />Into my soul they dive <br />The Shadow men, the Shadow men <br />Nothing to be left alive <br />They speak; <br />“Onward, onward as one we strive” <br />A call echoing as all revive <br /> <br />Back into the world we go <br />We Shadow men, we shadow men <br />Another helpless mind must know <br />We speak; <br />“Come, come let’s see the show”, <br />A beacon that can only grow <br /> <br />We shadow men, we shadow men <br />Over and over again <br />Over and over again<br /><br />Colm Hayes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shadow-man-iii/
