Vanguarde - Shadowlands Lyrics

Down in the shadowlands
You get beat down with an invisible hand
A pinball with a soul
Mistreated more than a tax loophole
Here in the shadowlands
In the shadowlands

I'm rarely in control
The admin's such a rigmarole
Terms are conditional
Exploitation is traditional
Here in your homeland
In your homeland

This better be enough
Scraps falling from above
Left in a land lost in a fantasy
Lost in a land left behind by reality

I ain't getting anywhere
An NPC for a billionaire
Dreams, hopes and ambition
The holy trinity of sedition
Inside a wasteland
Inside a wasteland

Down in the shadowlands
The sun sets on mythical uplands
Mired in the past
Dark, satanic minds watch shadows cast
Over a pleasant land
Was a pleasant land
