Lyrics

Four Shadows

[Intro]

Oi, oi, oi

Oi, oi, oi

Oi, oi, oi

[Verse]

Four shadows hang lifeless from gallows of time

Banished from heaven

Etched into dimensionless life

Four shades silhouetted engraved marble slab

Perched on their pillars of stacked severed limbs made of wax

[Pre-Chorus]

There in the afterglow

Keep your eyes on the dream

In the theater of endless freefall

We're between what's to come

And what always is and shall not be

[Chorus]

In the night

Only darkness in the night

Things that go bump in the night

Only darkness in the night

Only darkness in the night

Things that go bump in the night

Oi, oi, oi

Oi, oi, oi

Oi, oi, oi

[Verse]

Four shadows eclipsing the rays of the sun

Blacker than black colors

That overlap in the sky

Four shadows in two dimensional screens

Nothing to touch when the movie projector is me

[Pre-Chorus]

Etheric vertigo!

Don't believe what you see

Through the eyelids of sin, we did fall

And between what's to come

Ultraviolet and infrared

[Chorus]

In the night

Only darkness in the night

Things that go bump in the night

Only darkness sinks at night

Only darkness in the night

Things that go bump in the night

[Outro]

Oi, oi, oi

Oi, oi, oi

Oi, oi, oi
