So it came to me - and I saw beyond
The dark reflection of myself in me
I closed my eyes and I flew away
And I inhaled eternal life

Behind the deepest of my soul
Beyond the world you live in
I found a miracle I caught the shadowstone

With the knowledge in my hand
More alive than ever
With the seven astral planes within I will live forever

So far away but somewhere inside me
An angel slumbers wrapped in shadows

Grand materia
Catch the shadow of your soul

I became alone
My gift was both a blessing and a curse
Because I couldn't tell, didn't dare to speak,
No one to trust
I kept my knowledge for myself

Alone but with a presence inside me
An angel is awake in the shadows

Grand materia
Tame the shadow of your soul

There is no end in my life no final destination
Both blessed and doomed to walk the earth,
As an immortal transmutation

Something dark is always close- trying to control me
I think it wants the shadow back,
Through the barriers inside me

Alone but with a presence inside me
A demon is awake in the shadows

Grand materia
