Light And Shadows

Verse 1
Common blockage, new barricades
Irregular state of restlessness
Past and present occupy the mind
Potential thoughts of future tied up in a bind
Conflict of luxuries and necessities
Half-measured and too relaxed
Downgraded from collections of existence
Floating among creatures and cargo

Verse 2
Clashes of opposing views
Lack of general consensus
Arbitration in high demand
To decide the way in which things will be
Minimum requirements generate minimum effect
Upping the ante will lead to renewed interests
Eager eyes of spectators will widen
In anticipation of being entertained

Verse 3
Limited appeal and access
A modicum of opportunities
Proceeding with a plan may be advantageous
Minimizing mistakes is conducive to a better outcome
Upward and far-reaching focus is challenging to conceive of
When similar backgrounds ignore natural status
And chase after artificial concepts

Chorus 1
Light and shadows competing
To reign supreme among the lives of men
Revelation and concealment are attached
To every place and person

Chorus 2
Light and shadows competing
To reign supreme among the lives of men
Revelation and concealment are attached
To every place and person
Truth and lies dwell in light and shadows
