Lyrics
Shadowplay
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.
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.
With the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
I see the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,
But I just had to stare in as the crowds all left.
I did anything, anything wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
