This Dark Shadow Lyrics


Candles are lit, his entrance made, a crowd has gathered and I’m afraid. You must believe that I now pray for protection… dear God send aid! Oh, how I pray… dear heavens: send aid… this dark shadow. This dark shadow. As he draws closer, I withdraw, this dark shadow. But, still bound and sapped of strength, I must soldier on… this dark shadow. Oh… this dark shadow. His eyes roll back as he draws near, this is my end I fear. What starts as a whisper becomes a chant… my full submission, oh, I must now grant. He has such power and, oh… I’m doomed, it seems, I must yield to him… this dark shadow. No rays of hope or warming sunbeams… this dark shadow. I try and hold it together now. My will and self control have both left this hut. A particular sacrifice has been made. A special powder has been ground. A dark debt agreement has been made. Darkness, total darkness, all ‘round. Panic! Panic! Panic! Why did I come here? What was I thinking? Oh, what a nightmare! I’m sinking! I’m doomed, it seems, I must yield to him… this dark shadow. No rays of hope or warming sunbeams… this dark shadow. I’m doomed, it seems, I must yield to him… this dark shadow. No rays of hope or warming sunbeams… this dark shadow.
