Oh it's night again And the dark just killed the sun If the light must end You've got time to run away There's a door to dreams And it always lets you in But with a silent scream All the nightmares must begin Still you chase what you can't see Like death and pain and sin And the shadow of the wind The shadow of the wind You'll remember me I could make you disappear Be where you want to be Just as long as it's not here Well I'm back and stronger And the first one's always free And it lasts much longer You can bet your sanity "Nevermore" the victim cries As I slip beneath the skin Like the shadow of the wind The shadow of the wind If words had names like red and green And two for sympathy Black and white and in between Then you'd be misery Every day is an inquisition Who are you? What are you? Why? I'm alive, I belong, I'll be back It's a half truth, still a whole lie In the garden of good and evil You'll know, but you know The spider only spins The shadow of the wind The shadow of the wind
