Holy Shadows Sözleri

[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]

You're a child of an old illusion

Can't you hear it cry?

You live your life to the exclusion

Of what they call a lie

The touch of evil it is getting stronger

You'd better hide in the daylight

Or you won't stand the temptation no longer

And you will ask if your way is right

Do not ask the preacher why

All your fears keep it alive

Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows, always follow

Holy chains on holy shadows

When you are eve then I am temptation

I am the words you're not allowed to say

The animal of their revelation

'Cause I can take your fears away

They make you blind and they want you to follow

"Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!"

My wicked kiss on your virgin lips

Will be a pleasant way you'll see it

Do not ask the preacher why

All your fears keep it alive

Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows, always follow

Holy chains on holy shadows

Let's get down on the floor

You'll be screaming for more

When our bodies collide

I'll make you feel alright

Never give in when they call it sin

Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows, always follow

Holy chains on holy shadows

Holy shadows, always follow

Holy chains on holy shadows

Holy shadows, always follow

Holy chains on holy shadows

(...father, forgive her for giving in to her lust,

for being not able to stand the temptation...and for enjoying it!...)
