Cast Shadows (Justice League Dark) Lyrics
-Hook- (x2)
The innocents' futures beginning to fade
If you're looking for the light, then look to the shade
The cards have been dealt, now let's see how they play
The future is uncertain it's being remade
-Verse 1-
Where do you turn when your heroes can't manage?
The rejects, degenerates and otherwise damaged
When justice fails where does the burden fall?
Will we answer when the people of the populace call?
Long shunned and considered as the classless
We are the future as the world descends to madness
Looking up to the ones that you look down on
The strongest of you may not have the crown on
Yet this is how the cards are laid
It's called fate it's our part to play
Look to us, maybe we can mark the way
and they turn to Shade only in their darkest day
Called many things, never called upon
Outcast and exiled, we never belonged
Dare to dig deeper you're wading in the shallows
The best and the brightest always cast shadows
-Hook- (x2)
-Verse 2-
Looking to us but your backs are turned
and it's hard to cross bridges the past has burned
We've learned to look past what the masses say
In a hope that their actions would pass away
Misunderstood we were deemed as frauds
Then in a blink now we're seen as gods
Will we dwell on the past? No that ship has sailed
Prevail in this fight that your heroes failed
Are we a joke? or the hope in the coming days?
How will you cope in the smoke of the world ablaze?
Answer the call and we do it for the peoples sake
The truest heroes may not always wear a cape
Call us wishes, magicians and mystics
It doesn't matter cause you see us as misfit
Dare to dig deeper you're wading in the shallows
The best and the brightest always cast shadows
-Hook- (x2)
