Shackled and raised
for a shining crowd
They want you to speak
but the music is louder
than all of their roar
with the heat of the
planet's core

But the shadows are on your side
as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can hide
you belong to the hands of the night

Promises made
with a distant friend
Truth should be known
it can only bend
to a tune of it's own,
hey, you'll never hear
that voice again
Scandal in white
on a tangled vine
with everybody to say
that you're having
the time of your life
when your life is
on the slide

But the shadows are on your side
as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can hide
you belong to the hands of the night

Spinning a compass
to choose your way
You can run
you can dive
you can stand
and you can soar
whichever way
you can be sure

that the shadows are on your side
as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can hide
you belong to the hands of the night
