there was a shadow man
a hollow man
a man who wasn't quite a man
a simple man
without a care
one who's life went by too quick
and we all know where he's been
Though he remains unseen
until the sun comes up and we see our shadows instead
he would tear down the sun to block the light
so he only comes out at when the beg bugs start to bite
Pre chorus:
Hes watching you sleep
and your breathing's making him eager
turn out the lights
to make his keeper leave him
Chorus:
the shadow man's coming out tonight
searching for a way to bring the blight
he waits unseen
watching for a man who's soul is unclean
the shadow man's feeling down tonight
far to dark to see the light
so watch your back, run away
cos nothing stops the shadow MAN!!
New verse yay:
you wait for the dark
you wont hear as much as a bark
because the shadow man's voice is as soft as a whisper
and as you start to walk away its all too late
because the last thing you hear is you should've ran quicker
And once he visits your home
you'll be outside stumbling and cold
and as you walk asleep haunted by dreams never seen
the shadow man creeps ever closer
walking behind you making your world colder
and when the nightmare ends
you open your eyes and pretend
but the shadow man lurks around the corner
waiting once more for your mind grow older
Pre chorus:
hes still watching you sleep
but now your breath comes quicker
you turn on the lights to be alone with your reaper
little do you know the killer's staring back
So savour these heartbeats
Before they get stolen
Chorus:
the shadow man's coming out tonight
searching for a way to bring the blight
he waits unseen
watching for a man who's soul is unclean
[ (in the background) hes getting unruly]
The shadow mans love doesnt come easy
but once its there you're sure to know
and if you think youd like to stop bleeding
Then let him take what he wants
because when eyes cant save you
hes sleeping beside you
