Haken - Shapeshifter Lyrics

Dance into the masquerade,
I am the only man who has a face.
In this land of no identity,
who leads your secret society?

So deep in her disguise,
I fail to recognize my sister.
The shapeshifter will never change her ways.

You make the first descent,
this atmosphere becomes intense
as you start to undress
my robes of consciousness.

So deep in her disguise,
I did not recognize my sister.
The shapeshifter will never change her ways.

In the mist you fade to grey,
lost in a city where vampires
are guarding the gates.
And you vanish with no trace,
warped and distorted.
My fear is escorted away.
Pleasure I mistake for pain,
my demons and angels
are playing a dangerous game.
Inside the vessel of my friends,
I'm haunted by strangers,
they're craving a thirst for revenge.

I surrender to the view,
to find the replacement,
a manifestation of you.
One God to whom I seldom pray
created the science.
You work in mysterious ways.

So deep in her disguise,
I still don't recognize my sister.
The shapeshifter will never change her ways.

When you are dreaming,
I am wide awake.
Believe when you see me,
in the mind's eye I wait
while you are sleeping.
