Shadows Below

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the quiet of the evening when the lights start to fade There's a whisper in the darkness a game that he has played With every step she takes he's watching from afar A shadow in the moonlight under every star [Verse 2] She hears his voice in echoes bouncing off the walls In the corners of her mind where his memory calls She's dancing with the ghost that never seems to leave A phantom from the past she'll never quite believe [Chorus] Shadows below creeping slow Whispers that follow everywhere she goes Hidden in the night where secrets lie In the dark you'll never see him cry [Verse 3] In the alleyways he lingers waiting just for her A silhouette in silence a trick her mind prefers She feels his cold embrace though he's just a thought Caught between reality and what her mind has wrought [Bridge] Will she break free from the chains unseen From the shadows beneath where he's always been Or will the darkness claim her heart Before she finds a way to tear them apart [Verse 4] In the morning light she searches for a trace Of the whispering specter that haunts her quiet space But all she finds are shadows where he used to be A lingering whisper in the shade of the tree
