Nightshifters Lyrics


When the glint in the sky

is swallowed by the horizon

shadows contort and shift

they creep inwards

I swear I've seen them

they must be hiding in the walls

I know I hear them

they must be lurking through the halls

They stalk me

I see them

they gossip

I hear them

brandishing my aspirations of death

you have led me here to the edge

I only ask of you

grant me but just one dream of death

You place them in my head

every night when I lie awake

I see them lurking in the doorway

paralyzed

they reach out towards me

(Goatman)

They watch me

pervading

In corners

lay waiting

I wear them like a cloak

following wherever I go

when I turn around

I still see them there stalking behind

I know I've seen them in the corners of my eye

-

Deep in my dreams

where I lie exposed

I see a darkness looming o'er

I fear that death stalks in the night

hiding in the darkness right before my eyes

The marks I leave will be null

now watch yourself

as fear takes control

They stalk me

I see them

they gossip

I hear them

brandishing my aspirations of death

you have led me here to the edge

I only ask of you

grant me but just one dream of death

You place them in my head

every night, again and again
