In the Shadows Songtext
von Children of Bodom

I cannot get up by the howling cry
Just justify my longing to die
Bury me down at last
I think about it in the shadows and cry

Can scissors heal a man torn of tears?
A fading I fear inside
The reaper in sheet will stand by me
I′m dreaming, I'm wearing a black dress that night

I′m just a being tonight
And still I'm dressed so black (Oh, yeah)
Maybe I'm just blind
Maybe I should try

Can′t you see why the vision is calling you?

I got the one, the dream of horror
Dreams of blood, dreams of war
Rudest eyes have seen the fright
Welcome to the eternal night


You won′t be a butcher
No, you won't be at last
Somebody′s the trigger, take it off!
What, you are the priest's son? Fuck
So fuck yourself and die!

Still I stand against the death
Am I just a shade?
Always I′m awake and in black
Still I dare to praise the lord
No, I won't pass to the lord
Goodbye, oh, no!

So the keeper waits upon
He waits upon a border
Let me own your punishment
It′s time to break the border
The Candlelight fades away
There's nothing at all but me

I stare at death and the darkest one's
Watching me with cold eyes
A god has been with me in the shadows
I lost my reason to hate!

So it′s right,can leave the shadows
The last one has to survive


With my light shining bright
I got my way to regret forget what′s hurt's my heart
With my last dying rhyme I got my world
To betray for what I did by my motherfucking heart

The shadows draw back into honesty and love
Obey, and it will cut your throat
I can′t speak and you shan't be the next
The shadows strike in your blame, yeah!
