This version of "The Unshadowed Now" is instrumental only, but lyrics do exist, as listed below.
---------------------------------------------------
My songs are full of shadows, but you bring me light--
Shine over my path and clear my sight.
You shine into my secrets and melt shadows from my eyes.
Everything is different in the unshadowed now,
The unshadowed now.
I met you up on Delphi, where the ravens filled my skies--
Where I read unsubtle auguries among the swirling flies,
And the groves stretched out before me in a labyrinth of thorn,
And I walked inward and outward, in those shadowed hours forlorn.
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Everything's unfurled--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Permeate my world--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
In the unshadowed now,
The unshadowed now.
I met you out on Highland, where the gamers congregate--
Where red and black are my colors, and I stay out far too late.
There were cards upon the table; I was leaning on the bar.
I don't know how I came to trust your love so much, but here we are.
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Everything's unfurled--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Permeate my world--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
In the unshadowed now,
The unshadowed now.
Let this moment be more than it ever could be.
Let your life be unstrange to me.
Keep me in a moment with you.
Keep me in this moment with you.
I am reclusive in my dreams; my memories haunt my peace.
I distrust tranquil hours passing; I know tranquil hours cease.
They are familiar territory, that old neighborhood
Where nothing ends how it started and it never turns out good.
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Everything's unfurled--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Permeate my world--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
In the unshadowed now,
The unshadowed now.
I'm a sentinel of shadows, armed with verse and armed with flame.
You wrapped me tightly in your love, and the shadows never came.
I do not trust forever; it has let me down before,
But in the sunrise of your smile, I could ask for nothing more.
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Everything's unfurled--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
Permeate my world--
Love, light, hope, and healing,
In the unshadowed now,
The unshadowed now.
Let this moment be more than it ever could be.
Let your life be unstrange to me.
Keep me in a moment with you.
Keep me in this moment with you.
My songs are full of shadows, but you bring me light--
Shine over my path and clear my sight.
You shine into my secrets and melt shadows from my eyes.
Everything is different in the unshadowed now,
The unshadowed now,
The unshadowed now,
Right now.
