• in the shadow of life there is death
    in the shadow of death there is hope
    in the shadow of hope there is despair
    in the shadow of despair there is a lie
    in the shadow of a lie lies the truth
    in the shadow of the truth there is sorrow
    in the shadow of sorrow there is sadness
    in the shadow of sadness there is loneliness
    in the shadow of loneliness there is solace
    in the shadow of solace there is pain
    in the shadow of pain resides all life
