(Music & lyrics by King Diamond) When the darkness eats away the day And the moon bears witness to the graves In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Can you see the ghosts above our heads? We are all in there with the dead In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Solo: Shermann In the darkness there is no holding back There is no gold in black Deep in the night Everything is clear Clearer than daylight In the land of mystery we share You can come along if you dare In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Solo: Denner We are hiding in the shadows on your wall We are watching as you kiss your little doll When the darkness leaves the night We cannot see The Light no more No more We are always in the shadows by your door But when the darkness leaves the night We cannot see The Light no more No more There is no holding back There is no gold in black Deep in the night Everything is clear Clearer than daylight Solo: Denner Solo: Shermann
