Lyrics
Shadowchild

I lick the surface of a freedom ride
Under a hammering light I scream
Let's roll the dice of the future
Burning in my hand
I've built destruction upon the velvet skies
Maybe I'm strong, maybe I'm wrong
Lead us, shadowchild
Soiled by your faith in disguise
Shadow side, reflecting the eyes
I'm raising hell, a magic spell
Pain and pleasure together as one
I will recall, I will recall
When I'm down the stairs
I spit human cries
I can feel when they lie
My sun being one with the universe
Hear my call
Lead us, shadowchild
Soiled by your faith in disguise
Shadow side, reflecting the eyes
Creating my crown from the millions of lights
I'm abused beyond recognition
Pre-millennium futuristic
I predict you all to live
Under an individual sun
We're all collecting our senses and run
Lead us, shadowchild
Soiled by your faith in disguise
Shadow side, reflecting the eyes
Lead us, shadowchild
The truth's lying far from your life
Shadow side...
