In The Shadows
Inspired by Iron Maiden's Shadows Of The Valley
You ask a question
They tell you lies, or nothing at all
Contempt they disguise
Shadows on the rise, as you fall
Learning to live with the ego
Whilst you live your life
Dance to music only they know
Got the moves on your strife
Where is the view
Of what is true
The liar and the cheat
Allowed to compete
Ask who pays, and it's you
Will they answer a question
You get tired of the evade
You pick any destination
As your trust begins to fade
The shadows are growing
You begin to see the sorrow
As they borrow the knowing
From your sounds of tomorrow
Where is the view
Of what is true
The liar and the cheat
Allowed to compete
Ask who pays, and it's you
So in the shadows we must remain
As they keep growing the pain
Teaching young to know
How to live life, in shadows of the ego
In the shadows
The liar and the cheat
In the shadows
Allowed to compete
In the shadows
Teaching sounds of tomorrow
In the shadows
Living in sorrow
In the shadows
Is there light to share
Oh no, all must live, somewhere
In the shadows
