Lyrics: Shadows of the Night [Intro] (Dramatic synth pads and a lonely piano melody) (Heavy 4/4 kick drum and open hi-hats enter) [Verse 1] I’m standing here, just watching the rain Trying to hide all the secrets and the pain The clock is ticking on the bedroom wall Waiting for a hero, waiting for your call. You promised me a world of gold But the nights are long and the wind is cold. [Pre-Chorus] (Synth strings building up - Classic disco drums) It’s a long way back to yesterday When the music used to play I can feel the fire, I can feel the beat Running like a river underneath my feet! [Chorus] (Catchy Italo-Disco synth lead - Powerful vocals) In the shadows of the night, I’m looking for a sign Give me a reason to believe that you’re mine! In the shadows of the night, under the lonely stars We’re just two strangers hiding all our scars. Don’t walk away... don’t let the music die! [Verse 2] I’ve seen the world through a broken glass Waiting for the winter and the storm to pass You took my heart and you turned it 'round But I’m still standing on this hollow ground. No more lies and no more tears I’ve been running from my lonely fears. [Bridge] (Beat strips back to a heavy bassline and handclaps) (Deep, soulful Cher-style vibrato) One more dance... One more chance... Before the morning light! (Drum fill / Synth explosion) [Final Chorus / Outro] (Maximum energy - Full orchestral synths) In the shadows of the night, I’m looking for a sign! Shadows of the night... (Fade out with repeating synth hook and deep vocal ad-libs)
