Shadows

There you lie awake
Crushed with the weight of a shadow
Wounds become scars again
Passed on from brother to sister
Feel my pain
Can you feel her pain?

Oh, they gave you a name
But you don't know how to say it
Here comes those whips and chains
To instill the fury in your brain
Taking blame

Shadows of the night
Holding you tight
Are the shadows of the night
Making you cry?
Shadows of the night
Holding you tight
Are the shadows of the night

How long can we wait
For you to play catch up?
Fear is that generous thief
Sucking the blood of the children
We can feel our faces
Feel our names

Shadows of the night
Holding you tight
Are the shadows of the night
Making you cry?
Shadows of the night
Holding you tight
Are the shadows of the night
