Just a Shadow

Again I'm so alone, the wine is pouring down No one to share with, no one to care with The only light in my life Comes from the candlelight, black candles left behind As I'm sitting through the night I'm so cold and dark inside Angel, your memory will haunt me till the day I die Just a shadow, a shadow of a man I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move, every tear I shed I am no longer living, but I am still not dead I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen Must we have the other side, just to feel alive? Oh I wonder what would be had we not created me Just a shadow, a shadow of a man I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move They drive me insane Surrounded by darkness in this cold church of thine I try to remember, all that once was mine I don't know what tomorrow will bring But if life is so divine, how come I suffer so in mine? How come I suffer in mine? The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move They drive me insane I am no longer of the living, but I am still not dead I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen I lived a lifetime of sorrow and hate, up until the other day That's when I left this sick old world behind Oh how love can make you blind --- Just a Shadow - King Diamond
