The Shadow is here  
He's here again  
He follows me  
He sees my sin

Through the alley  
And in the dark  
Like stalking prey  
He's wearing thin

He knows my name  
He chases me  
He's gone insane  
He's after me

My breath is thick  
My chest is heavy  
I'm wearing down  
With fear again

And when he spoke  
He said to me  
With eloquence  
and poetry

That my time had come  
My story's end  
My waking dream  
Was going to end

And with his knife  
He ran me through  
And there I bled  
My life force, when

My vision blurred  
My final sight  
It was of that  
Quite handsome man

Who came to me  
In shadow form  
To cut me down  
And made my end.
