-Like Shadows-

Plans thought out...
Carried through...
All by people...
Like me and you.

They walk this planet...
Can't be special...
Just like Shadows...
Unexpected.

Here and now I'll make you see
Not all is likely as it seems
Shadows are more than they appear to be,
Behind the scenes they're molding dreams.

Master plans unveiled or not,
Ignored until exposed as true,
Shadows work and stop for naught
Shadows just like me and you.

Who could guess what they're up to?
Not like people truely care.
Who could guess what they will do?
More than most believe or dare.

Maybe someday...
All the Shadows...
Will make their dreams work...
And open windows...

Windows showing...
All Achaea...
What those Shadows...
Are truly made of...

Disbelieved and...
Turned aside...
It's no wonder...
Shadows hide.

Plotting deeply...
In the darkness...
How to stand out...
And achieve greatness.

Maybe now you'll look around,
You'll see those you thought normal.
Maybe now you'll hear the sound,
Of all the Shadows working full...

Purpose fills a Shadow's mind,
Secrets plague their deepest thoughts.
Safe they lurk from all those blind,
Towards their most intriguing plots.

So walk around the world and see
Those Shadows working in plain sight,
And greet these Shadows respectfully
For they will once more fade into night...

All the Shadows...
Hoping brightly...
All their plans will...
Work out nicely...

So think about it...
No one need know...
That you're like them...
Just like a Shadow.
