1. Pendragon is an English progressive rock band established in 1978 in Stroud, Gloucestershire as "Zeus Pendragon" by guitarist Nick Barrett. The "Zeus" was dropped before the band started recording.
There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained relatively stable. Long standing drummer Fudge Smith being replaced by Joe Crabtree who has subsequently been replaced by Scott Higham who brings high energy along with a huge beaming smile!
Their music is characterised by Barrett's virtuoso guitar playing and his highly emotional, if unique, vocal performances.
On October 1st 2008 the band released the album Pure. This album features their heaviest songs as of yet, being influenced by the newer Porcupine Tree.
The band continues to be active.
2. Born and raised in Baltimore City, Drag has been blazing through the Hip- Hop scene. His numerous mixtapes have touched the ears of many. A greater following has been gained from the listeners of 88.9 Strictly Hip-Hop, Morgan States Friday night dose of Underground Hip-Hop. PenDragon is a forerunner as one of Baltimores greats. PenDragon produces and writes not only rap but also R&B. Also writing TV shows, movies, and books are steadily draining the ink out of Drags pe ns. When asked about what he wants people to get out of his music Drag says, I want people to know that everything that you go through, someone else is going through that too. If I can comfort someone with what I say, and they can apply that to themselves and make them realize that life is real and everybody, no matter their position, had to overcome something, whether great or small. I want to give a voice to those that are not getting heard. And let them know that it is alright to feel all emotions of life, because everyone does, and its real.

The Shadow
Pendragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you won't know my name but you will play my game
And thought your eyes will sleep, sleep so very deep
It can't keep me from your door
Like a vampire I will call
And when the Sandman comes to you at last
I'll take the reins
Like a river flowing south
A virus coursing throught your blood
Bursting its bank and over the land
Washing away the grains of sand
And after all the faded years
I look in the mirror on the edge of tears
It seems I might have finally seen
That haunting shadow was really me
There's a man who's followed me just about all of my life
Being to you what I couldn't be
I call him my insecurity
He was strong when I was weak
Spoke outloud when I couldn't speak
He takes you hand from your carriage
And kisses you under the silver moon
Taken by his charm hand on arm
This white knight of gestures can never do wrong
I ran and I ran to go as far as I can
Looking over my shoulders
But always seeing that man
Running after me on the horizon forever
He takes you hand from your carriage
And kisses you under the silver moon
Taken by his charm hand on arm
This white knight of gestures can never do wrong
Shining bright a silver light
On the long tall shadows of the night
Spiralling down and out of control
I know it's a dream but I can't let go
Cries for help fall on stony ground
There's so much noise I can't hear a sound
Forever falling and I can't sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Looking for somewhere that's home to me now
The king of the castle and his sacred cow
I've travelled the world and by chance this is how
The lies became true
Between me and you
Free spirit I've travelled so follow me now (x3)
I'll come dancing throught your door
With hands out to the poor
You won't suspect at all
Like a vampire I will call
The lyrics to Pendragon's song "The Shadow" portray a sense of darkness and mystery as the singer explores the inner workings of his mind. The lyrics suggest that the "shadow" could refer to the singer's own insecurities or fears, which follow him everywhere he goes, symbolized by a man who has followed him his entire life. However, the singer also makes it clear that he can take control of his own destiny and overcome his past by breaking free from the clutches of this shadow.
The first verse of the song describes the singer's arrival into the listener's life, promising to change it in some way. The comparison to a vampire is interesting, as vampires are often symbols of temptation and seduction, luring unsuspecting victims into their grasp. The second verse talks about the singer's struggle with his own shadow, symbolized by the man who followed him his whole life. The third verse talks about the singer's dream-like state, continually searching for somewhere to call home.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Shadow" paint a picture of a person haunted by their own insecurities and trying to make their way through life despite the obstacles that stand in their way.
