I walk in shadows
I walk in the shadows, for i despise the light
I much prefer the comfort of night
When out out in the sun, i am forced to see
That a suffering doom is waiting for me
But in the blanket of midnight that's all covered
You see not all the doom to be discovered
Yes night seduces me with promises
She can not keep
But i will let her fool me for the pain is to deep
The velvet blue of twilight engulfs me with care
The danger of dawn, i refuse to dare
I dance in the shadows, for there i feel no shame
loneliness is my purpose, desperation is my name
Yes i will remain in the shadows, for they know
Me well, and because the break of day
Will drag me to hell.
