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.
Uh uh uh...
To the center 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 without a window in the corner I found truth
Aaah ahhh
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more
As 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 could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
Uuh!
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
Uaaaau!!!
Uh uh uh
