about

Sung by people in the town who witness the dragon attack.

lyrics

ENSEMBLE:
There’s a shadow in the sky
There’s a shadow in the sky

LADAIR:
I was sitting all alone in the quiet of my home
When i heard a piercing scream which echoed through my chest
Then my house went up in flames, and a neighbor called my name
They pulled me out and when i looked back, i saw nothing left

ENSEMBLE:
There’s a shadow in the sky
There’s a shadow in the sky
And I can hardly take a breath before I choke
From the fear that’s in the air
And the safety that i dared to take for granted
Has now vanished in the smoke

BAIDDIN:
I was walking before bed when a shape passed overhead
And the undercurrent knocked me squarely off my feet
Then a sound i can’t forget erupted from the silhouette
A flash of fire quickly covered the entire street

ENSEMBLE:
There’s a shadow in the sky
There’s a shadow in the sky
And I can hardly take a breath before i choke
From the fear that’s in the air
And the safety that i dared to take for granted
Has now vanished in the smoke

So tell us how can we move on now that our neighborhood is gone
Your reassurance cannot cover up our burns.
This threat is too much to ignore, we always thought we were secure
Now our illusions have been shattered and we don't know where to turn

RAYLA:
It paused from its attack, turned and looked me in the eye
I heard its thoughts as though they were my own
This wasn't done at random. The dragon has a plan
And it attacked us just to make its presence known

ENSEMBLE:
There’s a shadow in the sky
There’s a shadow in the sky
And I can hardly take a breath before i choke
From the fear that’s in the air
And the safety that i dared to take for granted
Has now vanished in the smoke

There’s a shadow in the sky
There’s a shadow in the sky
