Count The Shadows

The day is almost over, the sunlight is going

And the people walk in shadows, completely unknowing

That there's something lethal in the air that they can't see

Now a time lord could save me just by turning on a light

But i don't think that the doctor's gonna show up tonight

And so i'm trying to remember what the library said to me

(Cuz there's one thing left to do)

Count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz they're edging towards you like a hungry moth to a flame

So count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz if you've got more than one, then you're the victim that they will claim

In the library the darkness is waiting to attack

And some explorers went inside but they ain't never coming back

Namely miss evangelista, anita and two guys called dave

And the shadows made four thousand other people disappear

And they've been hungry and waiting for a whole damn year

For some fresh meat that isn't gonna register as "saved"

(So there's one thing left to do)

Count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz they're edging towards you like a hungry moth to a flame

So count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz if you've got more than one, then you're the victim that they will claim

*Instrumental of sorts*

An invisible carnivorous aggressive armada

And they go by the name of the vashta nerada

A thousand thousand million piranhas in the air

The tingle on your skin that you feel in the dark

May be the hungry ones who contemplate leaving a mark

So when you're reaching for the light switch, make sure you're prepared

(Cuz there's one thing left to do)

Count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz they're edging towards you like a hungry moth to a flame

So count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz if you've got more than one, then you're the victim that they will claim

Count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz they're edging towards you like a hungry moth to a flame

So count the shadows, count the shadows

Cuz if you've got more than one, then you're the victim that they will claim
