Shadows Lyrics - In The Shadows - Mercyful Fate

(Music & lyrics by King Diamond) 

When the darkness eats away the 

day 

And the moon bears witness to the 

graves 

In the shadows we are alive 

In the shadows, The Light 

Can you see the ghosts above our 

heads? 

We are all in there with the dead 

In the shadows we are alive 

In the shadows, The Light 

Solo: Shermann 

In the darkness there is no holding 

back 

There is no gold in black 

Deep in the night 

Everything is clear 

Clearer than daylight 

In the land of mystery we share 

You can come along if you dare 

In the shadows we are alive 

In the shadows, The Light 

Solo: Denner 

We are hiding in the shadows on 

your wall 

We are watching as you kiss your 

little doll 

When the darkness leaves the night 

We cannot see The Light no more 

No more 

We are always in the shadows by 

your door 

But when the darkness leaves the night 

We cannot see The Light no more 

No more 

There is no holding back 

There is no gold in black 

Deep in the night 

Everything is clear 

Clearer than daylight 

Solo: Denner 

Solo: Shermann
