Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos

------------------------

Beyond the shadows...
Where the light breaks through...
I'm reaching for you...

I lost you again, my dear
So far away from sight
Your coffee cup still waits for you
I can't let go, I can't move through
Beyond life's shadows you have gone
To a place covered by light
Your jacket hanging by the door
These empty rooms still hold your ghost

And I ache, I ache in this sorrow
As your love still remains
I ache, I ache in regrets
In the words I never said

But it's all over now
The end has come, my time will come
The trumpet has sounded
There's nowhere left to run
Except back to you again
When my time shall pass
Maybe soon or maybe later
These years fly by so fast
I'll see you past the shadows

Why did you have to leave this way?
I'm drowning in this grief unfair
I smell your perfume on my pillow
But when I turn, you're not there
I still hear your laugh in crowded rooms
It cuts right through my chest
The weight of all I couldn't say
It pulls me down, but you're at rest

Still I ache, God I ache in this sorrow
Your memory's all I have now
I scream, yeah I scream in regrets
But I'll find my way somehow

Cause it's all over now
The end has come, but love lives on
The trumpet has sounded
There's nowhere left to run
Except back to you again
When my time shall pass
Maybe soon or maybe later
These years fly by so fast
I'll see you past the shadows

I don't know how to say it
'Cause I try to keep strong
But I'm breaking down
These walls are crashing down tonight
I know I'll weep before you
Your presence is where I belong
That's where my soul belongs
When I finally come home

So please greet heaven
With glee and grace
You belong to Jesus now
As you meet Him face to face
Face to face

And I'll hold on through the darkness
I'll hold on through this pain
I'll hold on until we're together
Again—

It's all over now
The end has come, but love lives on
The trumpet has sounded
And there's nowhere left to run
I'll come back to you again
When my time shall pass
Maybe soon or maybe later
I know these years fly fast

I'll see you past the shadows
Beyond the light
I'll find you past the shadows
In heaven's light
I'll hold you past the shadows
I'll hold you close
Past the shadows
Past the shadows

Until we meet again
Until we meet again

Beyond The Shadows

UK and Cyprus-based songwriter and producer crafting melodies that bridge worlds. My music springs from life's raw experiences—the highs, the lows, and the moments of clarity in between.

Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean shores of Cyprus and the rich musical heritage of the UK, I weave stories of faith, resilience, and hope into every track. My songs are conversations—honest reflections on the journey, celebrations of life's beauty, and reminders that even in our darkest moments, light finds a way.

When you listen to my music, you're not just hearing songs—you're experiencing chapters of a shared human story, one that acknowledges our struggles while embracing the possibility of tomorrow.

Join me as we explore what it means to live authentically, to believe in something greater, and to find meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
