| Broken down a nervous wreck yet there are no regrets
|
| All the prestige drains my soul as illness takes to bed
|
| It’s time I need to ease my mind and become new again
|
| So rest my child and be cleansed for breakdown’s not the end
|
| But what is this? |
| What leads me from my room?
|
| An apparition? |
| It beckons me!
|
| In this place here I rest while doctors roam the halls
|
| Yet I’m alone inside myself to struggle with my fears
|
| And there it is I can see a shadow on the wall
|
| Calling me towards the end and onwards to the morgue
|
| But the fear it takes my breath away
|
| So near is the lonely world of death
|
| I try to think of other things yet it is always near
|
| I just can’t help but walk its path and end up at the morgue
|
| No, not the morgue! |
| Not that dreaded place!
|
| The morgue is cold and stinks of death the bodies freezing cold
|
| I feel the grasp of something strange pulling at my soul
|
| The dead just laying on their slabs sends chills right down my spine
|
| And there’s that shadow on the wall its image stains my mind
|
| That shadow, that shadow on the wall
|
| That shadow, that creeping down the wall
|
| What does this tell me of my mind this crazy lunacy
|
| I fear that this is a sign that death is wanting me
|
| That shadow, that shadow on the wall
|
| That shadow, creeping down the wall
|
| That shadow, that shadow on the wall
|
| That shadow, creeping down the wall
|
| Down the wall!
|
| My release from this place should take this all away
|
| My mind has healed up long enough for life it now awaits
|
| So off I’ll go into the sky and ride the flying plane
|
| Back to a place where I belong the soothing hand of fame
|
| But wait it’s that shadow once again my fate is in my own hands
|
| I run away from the boarding plane that takes off in the night
|
| As up in flames death does claim everyone but I
|
| That shadow, that shadow warned me of the end
|
| That shadow, that shadow let me live again
|
| That shadow, that shadow pulled me from the flames
|
| That shadow, a premonition! |
