Just a Shadow - King Diamond

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
