Welcome to the Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In this old cozy room
Gentle bathed in blue light
You ponder on their world
In the bright Sun
What surrounds us is said
To be filthy and dead
Quite foolish
To the quite erudite one
Blue - look out the Moon!
In the shadows we dwell
Too unseen to be true
In the dead of night
The blood Moon is smiling
Join the unseen
Dance in between the shadows
Susurrating brake
Reaching for you
From the shadows
I'm the master of things
Speaking backwards, with wings that fly
Unperceived by the sneery
All you see will be said
To be just in your head
It's so simple
In the land of dreary
You close your eyes boy, and soon
You're safe in my world
We're ghosts in the Moon
In the dead of night
The blood Moon is smiling
Join the unseen
Dance in between the shadows
Susurrating brake
Reaching for you
From the shadows
In the dead of night
The blood Moon is smiling
Join the unseen
Dance in between the shadows
Susurrating brake
Reaching for you
From the shadows
You hear the call of the Moon
Oh, one more step through the gate
And they won't tread on you
In the dead of night
The blood Moon is smiling
Join the unseen
Dance in between the shadows
Susurrating brake
Reaching for you
From the shadows
In the dead of night
The blood Moon is smiling
Join the unseen
Dance in between the shadows
Susurrating brake
Reaching for you
From the shadows
