Lyrics

A Shadow Stirs

Beneath the flashing neon lights of a distant dream

A rock 'n' roll nightmare is coming true

A dark cloud is creeping across the world

And whispering backwards through the radio

Rock music is a horny vampire, and tonight it is feasting upon you

But on the horizon, a shadow stirs

A new force rises through the mist, ready to hunt the hunter

A creature of lust, power, and light, here to devour the darkness

In a world of excess and violence

Sometimes going all the way is just the start

The battle between good and evil has begun

May God have mercy on their souls
