Lyrics
Holy 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.
You're a child of an old illusion,
Can't you hear it cry?
You live your life to the exclusion,
Of what they call a lie...
The touch of evil it is getting stronger,
You'd better hide in the daylight.
Or you won't stand
The temptation no longer,
And you will ask if your way is right.
Do not ask the preacher why!
All your fears keep it alive.
Waiting for the end of time...
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on... ...holy shadows...
When you are eve then I am temptation
I am the words
You're not allowed to say
The animal of their revelation
Cause I can take your fears away.
They make you blind and
They want you to follow!
"Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!"
My wicked kiss
On your virgin lips
Will be a pleasant way you'll see it
Let's get down on the floor
you'll be screaming for more
When out bodies collide
I'll make you feel alright
Never give in
When they call it sin!
