Razia's Shadow is an eloquent masterpiece of music. An incredibly talented
grouping of artists all on one concept album, each track is truly its own universe
of sound. 'Toba the Tura' was one (among many) of my favorites featuring
Chris Conley from Saves The Day.

So you're Ahrima, collusive dreamer.
Em A Dmaj7 Bm7
I watched the lamps fall, you pushed them over.

They say you're gifted, well I just see a scared kid.

Burnt down my home.

But now that's all gone. Maybe the design's flawed.
Em A Dmaj7 Bm7
So that's why I'm here, to preserve the remainder
Em A Dmaj7 F#
Of what chance we have left at an existence.

O, the desolate dirt. The raw, scorched earth.
F#
It's a scar of my hurt.
Bm7 Dmaj7 Em A
Your cold, wicked soul boasts a foul scent. (No, a stench)
Dmaj7 Bm7 Em A
The formidable taste of pure contempt.

My words will tear through the air,

Pierce through the despair,

To find your arrogant, throbbing ears.

If it's too much to bear, or to hear,
Em
Or take, I'll be frank,
F#
Let my inflection be crystal clear.
Bm7 Dmaj7 Em
This mess that you've made, it's a six-foot grave.
F# Bm7
It's a home for your lonesome bones that remain.
Dmaj7 Em
We'll disappear, but you'll stay here to rot

As The King of The Dark and Forgot.
Em A Dmaj7 Bm7
What have I done? Please make me your son.
Em A Dmaj7 Bm7
What have I become? Destroyed all I love.

O, what have you done?
A Dmaj7 Bm7
Disobedient son, you've broken the trust of your father's love.
