Mercyful Fate - Shadows Lyrics

When the darkness eats away the day
And the moon bears witness to the graves
In the shadows we are alive
In the shadows the light

Can you see the ghost above our heads?
We are all in there with the dead
In the shadows we are alive
In the shadows the light

In the darkness there is no holding back
There is no gold in black
Deep in the night everything is clear
Clearer than daylight

In the land of mystery we share
You can come along if you dare
In the shadows we are alive
In the shadows the light

We are hiding in the shadows on your wall
We are watching as you kiss your little doll
But when the darkness leaves the night
We cannot see the light no more, no more

We are always in the shadows by your door
But when the darkness leaves the night
We cannot see the light no more, no more

There is no holding back
There is no gold in black
Deep in the night everything is clear
Clearer than daylight
