(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
