I've come to be a shadow
Come to be a shadow
Come to be a shadow
With the sun just out of site
The problems that I know are not
The problems I would like
I've come to be a coward
I've come to be a thief
Come to be a preacher
But I don't practice what I preach
I've come to know a queen
I've come to know a king
I've come to know a pawn
Who knew most everything
Come to be a shadow
I've come to be a shadow
I stood out on the water
Where I spoke with Jesus Christ
He said son things are getting rough
But you are doing fine
Near the burning bush
Where you lit my effigy
I buried your old notebook
Which I swear I did not read
You were on the mend
When the doctor called you in
To give you the bad news
You've got a couple days to live
Just a couple days to live
I fell upon my sword
Laying in the tall green grass
Staring into the darkness
Into the darkness
With the darkness staring back
I saw the face of god
Looked a lot like you
Asked me what I wanted
What I wanted
I acted like I knew
I've come to be a shadow
Come to be a shadow
