[Verse 1] Shrouded by the shadows, A hunter seeks its prey. Mesmerized and silent, The trees shall be its grace. [Verse 2] Silently and warily, a beast is on the prowl, Watching hungrily as saliva run down its jowl. Solemnly, the prey graze unto grass, Blissfully unaware of the doom lurking its path. As the beast draws near, its breath slows and colds, Waiting for the moment now palpably close. Its piercing eyes, dead set on their prize, flashes for an instant in the dimmed sunrise. The prey tries to run, escape its fate, But alas the hunter already caught its face. [Chorus] Shadows creep from the light, To veil the wary and the stealthy, Secured from prying eyes, they hold a promise of mystery. Haunting secrets and visions, that may be best unseen. In shadows sneaks the solace, Of those who shan't be seen. [Verse 3] Under city lights, In the dead of night, stumble a drunken man, Looking for a good time and friends. In the back of a narrow street, That the lights forgot to seek. His impaired eyes found for him a scene, That will now haunt the rest of his dreams. [Verse 4] Before him a silhouette befall, Could have been at least 15 feet tall. Massive ears and eerie smile, Clearly hiding something vile. His heart began to race, his legs began to shake. The alcohol fled his veins As adrenaline poured in waves. It wasn't long before he'd turn around, And ran far away to scenes beyond. [Chorus] Shadows creep from the light, To veil the wary and the stealthy, Secured from prying eyes, they hold a promise of mystery. Haunting secrets and visions, that may be best unseen. In shadows sneaks the solace, Of those who shan't be seen. [Outro] In darkness the silent hides, Awaiting for its chance to strike. The shadows cloak nightmarish sights, All gleaming through their endless night.
