not enough horror

    you pause a moment and the shadow fades
    so much was said and then forgotten fast
    a lot of life goes missing in the shades

    the river is not silent it cascades
    in all its glory and it goes so fast
    you pause a moment and the shadow fades

    so many reasons to learn these new trades
    you know so well that magic does not last
    a lot of life goes missing in the shades

    we learn so quickly we'll get paid in spades
    there's barely time for us to be aghast
    you pause a moment and the shadow fades

    what happens now will happen in decades
    it isn't something safely in the past
    a lot of life goes missing in the shades

    not everything is out on the parades
    nor can we trust in just a single cast
    you pause a moment and the shadow fades
    a lot of life goes missing in the shades
