 In The Shadows » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ Shadows
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
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
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

2. _ Egypt
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld
is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul
in your hands
O Thou, God of the Dead
Lead my soul to the judgement hall
O Thou, Jackal Head
Weigh my soul, I await your call
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Ammit, Eater of the Dead
Is devouring my heart
Will I pass on to Aaru
Or will I be condemned?
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I must be back on time
But still I want to know
I hope they let me go
I'm from another time
And I must reunite
My body and my soul
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld
is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul
in your hands
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Egypt come back to me
Egypt come back to me
Egypt, without beginning or end

3. _ The Bell Witch
Back in Tennessee, I saw a
family haunted by an entity
It was a tragedy in another
century
Oh...They never would know the
Evil One that came
Little Betsy, the age of 12
Living in a dream
The first one to scream
Invisible hands leaving their
mark in the dark
Night after night
The Bell Witch attacked and
attacked
Torturing Betsy, until a circle
was held in candle light
Tell us who you are
Please tell us who you are
'I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell Witch
I am a million years
I am the Bell Witch'
The Bell Witch decided
It was the time for the father to
scream
Soon taken ill, never again to
leave his bed alive
Tell us who you are
Please tell us who you are
'I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell Witch
I am a million years
I am the Bell Witch'
'Goodnight John, see you in Hell...
Say bye bye to Daddy, Betsy'
Call the doctor!!! ...'I made sure'
Call the doctor!!! ...'There ain't no
cure'
That night John he died
And the Bell Witch never came
again
Soon they realized, the witch had
given John bad medicine

4. _ A Gruesome Time
Everything is so strange in here
And as I look through your eyes
I can see what you're thinking of me
I am deep inside
Deep inside your head, causing you pain
Deep inside your head, causing you pain
Eternal pain
All your secrets are done my dear
And as I look through your eyes
I can see all the things that you fear
I am deep inside
Deep inside your head, causing you pain
Deep inside your head, causing you pain
Eternal pain
I'm the dreams you don't wanna
dream
I'm the things you don't wanna see
I'm the dreams you don't wanna
dream
I am the night of sin.....
I wanna see you in tears
The end is near.....
I am deep inside
Deep inside your head, causing you pain
Deep inside your head, causing you pain
Eternal pain
I've come to give you a gruesome time
For all the evil you have done
I'll keep a coming until the end
I'll keep a coming back my friend

6. _ The Old Oak
Do you remember the bridge?
The bridge that was standing in ruin
Do you remember the sign?
Demons and witches were doing
They say it's a bad place
They say it's a magic place
Deep down under
The soil of this unholy land
Deep down under
The roots of a tree they have damned
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
Nothing will grow in the ground
The Old Oak is killing it all
If you are ever around
Beware of the Oak and its charm
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Hypnotized.....
It's a bad sign
When the Autumn comes and the leaves
are gone
Oh it's a bad sign
The Oak must feed in order to breed
Bad sign....... Bad sign
It's a bad sign when the Autumn comes
And the leaves are gone
It's a nightmare found
I wonder... what made this magic tree so
Hang with me, hang with the hangman
Another season in another century
Hang with me, hang with the hangman
Blood from the madmen we hung in that
tree
Blood to the ground
Blood to the roots.... Red
All around the Old Oak
Deep into the ground they buried them
Indians of ancient times
Saw it as a holy shrine
Can you believe, sacrificing their own
Must have been a mighty GOD
To receive a gift of life
All the people must have known
Happiness would come if sown
Can you believe, sacrificing their own
The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Hypnotized.....
No! Don't hang with me
As I go back to the Old Oak tree

7. _ Return of the Vampire...1993
A suicide, the birth of a Vampire
Deep in his lair, gasping for air
Spreaded wings
Fly out at sunset
So high above, back before dawn
Return of the Vampire
Leaving his lair
He's out for blood and it's yours
he will share
Return of the Vampire
Leaving his lair
He's out for blood and it's yours
he will share
There's only one way you can
stop him
You gotta trace the Vampire to
his lair, oh yeah
And then you gotta drive a stake
Right through the heart of the
living dead, the dead
Oh I can feel something is wrong
Vampire, My shadow is gone
Vampire, I know what you've
done
Vampire, My shadow is gone
Vampire, I know what you've
done
Return of the Vampire
Leaving his lair
He's out for blood and it's yours
he will share
Return of the Vampire
Leaving his lair
He's out for blood and it's yours
he will share
A suicide, the birth of a Vampire

9. _ Is That You, Melissa
Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day
Oh...Melissa, could that really be
your voice I hear?
Too soon for you and I
The priest took his sacrifice
And sent you to the other side
Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day
Oh...Melissa, do you remember
the time we shared?
Do you remember the magic nights?
I will never forget your smile
Do you remember the love we
had?...
Oh the love we had
'No...Melissa'
You gotta tell me why
'No...Melissa'
I want her by my side
'This is against the rules
there won't be another time'
Melissa tell me why
I wanna know why
'No...Melissa'
You gotta tell me why
'No...Melissa'
I want her by my side
Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day
Oh...Melissa, close your eyes
and say goodbye
One last time...we'll kiss goodbye
I kiss your soul goodbye

10. _ Legend of the Headless Rider
'The Rise'
I'm an undertaker
I'm a ghost in the night
I'm a coffin shaker
This graveyard site is mine
Take a look at the sky, see that evil eye
Tonight the moon is cold as ice
Oh yeah...cold as ice...oh yeah
There's a black horse waiting
Will HE be on time?
The graveyard's shaking
Should I turn my eyes and walk away
Take a look at the sky, see that evil eye
Tonight the Headless Rider rides
Midnight...let the churchbell ring
It's midnight, All Hallows Eve
It's midnight, All Hallows Eve
I see him rising from his grave
I see him rising from his grave.......
'The Chase'
On All Hallows Eve, Never to forget
He rides the open field
In search of his head
My GOD, he's so grotesque
Should I stay?
My GOD, a scythe in his hand
NO WAY
He's coming...I'm running
He's coming...I'm running
Deep inside I know I'm the one
He's coming...I'm running
Deep inside I know this is wrong
Help me, I'm falling down
I'm falling down...
I'm looking up...I'm in a grave
'Doomed'
In this hollow grave
I can smell that he's near
Will I ever never make it
Will I shed a tear
Oh it's strange how everything's
changing
Now my life is fading away
In this hollow grave
I see a bony hand
Don't you ever never take it
It's the key to his land
Oh it's strange how everything's
changing
Now my life is fading away
Oh it's strange how everything's
changing
Now my life is fading away
NO!
'Epilogue'
The mind in my headless body
Seems to be chained to the inside
I cannot move towards the light...
And as he rides away
Leaving me with this curse
I hear his laughter in the distance
Actually it's my laughter, he stole my head
Does this mean I'll be The One next year???

11. _ Thirteen Invitations
The mansion was right on the shore
Down by the lake
Nobody had lived here before
But the Devil himself
Thirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
They would all arrive in time
They gathered around the mansion
Thirteen in all
They had the same intention
Never to fall
Thirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
Promising eternal life
So you want to be alive forevermore
I will turn the wheel of time
None of you will ever have to die
I will turn the wheel of time
Turning the wheel
Turning the wheel of time
But first we must play a game
The game of souls
Sit down! Don't move around!
Deal those cards!
They played all night 'till the morning
light
And the Devil, he smiled on his own
They played all night for eternal life
Or the chance of losing their souls
High will win, low is the sin
They played all night in the burning
light
The thirteen were sharing a nine
High will win, low is the sin
The final card was in the Devil's hand
The King of Diamonds would win
They could never leave the mansion
Forever inside
They had lost their souls of creation
But they were alive
Thirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
And the mansion was mine
