Black Shadows

So you cry yourself to sleep
In places no one sees you weep,
Who can wipe those tears away?
To the silent stars you pray,
Painful secrets underneath,
Ones you fight so hard to keep,
When your senses feel betrayed
Your shell lies open once again,

Love is blind today
But innocence will find a way
To turn the darkness of this plight
Into light,

Until the black shadows die
Upon the cross of broken love,
Until the black shadows blind
These indifferent eyes,
Black shadows hide
Until the rose has opened up,
Then one by one with each sunrise
The black shadows die

You could be miles away from me,
It's you private fantasy,
So much harder to pretend
When this nightmare never ends,
Trust in me, I'll light the way,
Turn this twilight into day,
Don't look back, look straight ahead,
I will guide your every step,

The lover's fire remains
But pretty soon it dies away,
So I'll do all I can to fight,
From tonight...

Until the black shadows die
Upon the cross of broken love,
Until the black shadows blind
These indifferent eyes,
Black shadows hide
Until the rose has opened up,
Then one by one with each sunrise
The black shadows die
