about

Inspired by the events in the upcoming Doronai Nui campaign from Red Star Games, The Shadow of the Coliseum, this song is a call to the masses to have faith and be hopeful, even during the darkest of times.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
A ship sunk by stone
And a house burning down to the ground
The first fists are thrown
And the darkness is gathered around

The archives, they bleed
And the screams of the fallen still echo
The fighting concedes
But the city is filled up with sorrow

[Chorus 1]
When your mind floods with fear
And when the skies turn dark
Know your heroes are near
Courage in their hearts
And the shadows depart

[Verse 2]
Taken by storm
While the roads they patrol bathe in doubt
They see how she’s torn
In the City of Legends without

Heroes to guide them
To take them to places beyond
A tower to hide them
A coliseum casting its shadow

[Chorus 2]
When your mind floods with fear
And when the skies turn dark
Know your heroes are near
Courage in their hearts
And the shadows depart (the shadows depart)
And the shadows depart (oh, the city, she bleeds all over me)
