The Shadow from Beyond Lyrics

Album: Gefion

A shadow from beyond, too frail to stand the sun

and life and death are all the same (to me)

The full moon in the sky may help me for a while

but it’s a dream from where you can’t awake

When sun is on its climb there’s horror in my mind

I fear the light above the mound

I need a hiding place enslaved by evil fate

If I don’t flee my flesh will turn to dust

My face is white as snow, pale as the dead below

but then my eyes are burning red

I caught you by the smell of lifeblood in your veins

Now here’s the kiss of death upon your neck

You have no time to scream or to repent your sins

No absolution, It’s too late

You won’t stay in your tomb, I know that very soon

You’ll share my destiny, you’ll share my hate

(Guitar-solo – Frank, Peter, Frank, Peter)

One night I hear a sound while to my sleep I’m bound

An exhumation is prepared

The father from the church has come to end the curse

He’ll pierce a wooden stake into my heart

But as he’s taking aim the moon is out again

Then even prayers cannot save

‘Cause from the chains of death I am set free again

to haunt you as a shadow from the grave

(Guitar-solo – Frank, Peter, Frank, Peter)
