The shadow man incident


A frightened child
Pulls his blanket overhead
His mind runs wild
Amidst the silence

He can feel his stare
I see you
Intruder in the room
But no one's there
He could hardly move
Frozen like a stone

This is more than just a terrifying dream
The shadows always watching

She's half asleep
Bedroom window open wide
Can hardly breathe
As a figure creeps inside

She sees no face
An expressionless black hole
She's too afraid
To run or speak or hide
Can he peer into her soul?

This is more than just a terrifying dream
The shadows always watching

That is not dead which can eternal lie
And with strange aeons even death may die

Standing at seven-feet tall, he's a sight to behold
Tales of the man in the hat surfaced centuries ago

Wearing a flowing black cloak and a watch on a chain
He stands in the corner in darkness as you go insane

Fighting for breath as the incubus sits on your chest
The night demon waits as you dream standing over your bed

Night
It will be forever changed
Will the shadow be revealed?
Can we ever know his name?
Endless night
Not a soul will hear you scream
And you never will escape
From the devil in your dreams
Endless night
Endless night

The vision that lives off your fear
Making you panic and sweat
He hides in the mist
But does he exist?
A stranger you'll never forget

He waits at the end of the hall
A presence you cannot explain
One minute he's there, turn your back, then he's gone
You'd better pray
He never calls out your name

In the darkness, every faint noise of the night seemed magnified

Night
It will be forever changed
Will the shadow be revealed?
Can we ever know his name?
Endless night
Not a soul will hear you scream
And you never will escape
From the devil in your dreams
Endless night
Endless night
Endless night

Terrifying nightmares
Shared around the world
Stories of a faceless man who goes by many names
And traps us in his fearful gaze

A stranger in the mist
In the darkness of the night
Who leaves us paralyzed

As you fall asleep
Better keep a watchful eye
And maybe leave a light on tonight

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
