[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] They gather when the moonlight dies Formless watchers with no eyes Standing silent by the bed In the corner of my dread Frozen breath, the air turns cold Paralysis takes its hold Can't escape, can't even scream Trapped inside this waking dream [Pre-Chorus] Something's here – I feel the weight Pressing down – it's far too late [Chorus] Shadow people at my side Faceless voids where nightmares hide They don't speak, they only stare Stealing pieces of the air Watching, waiting through the night In the dark they own the fight Shadow people, never gone In my room until the dawn [Verse 2] Hat man looms in blackest ink Brings the terror none can shrink Others shift like smoke and coal Feeding slowly on my soul No escape from their embrace Time dissolves without a trace Heartbeats thunder, lungs refuse In their grip I slowly lose [Pre-Chorus] Pressure builds upon my chest Demon guest – eternal test [Chorus] Shadow people at my side Faceless voids where nightmares hide They don't speak, they only stare Stealing pieces of the air Watching, waiting through the night In the dark they own the fight Shadow people, never gone In my room until the dawn [Bridge] [Instrumental] [Breakdown] They lean in close – I feel the chill No face, no mercy, only will To hold me here forevermore Between the threshold and the door Do not look – do not reply Or they'll claim you when you die [Final Chorus] Shadow people crowd the room Sealing shut my living tomb Eyes like voids that pull me in Where the terror will begin They don't leave, they multiply Feeding on my every cry Shadow people, claim their prize In the darkness of my eyes [Outro] Fade into the black... fade into the black... fade into the black...
