[Verse 1]

Life can be so beautiful

It brings you to your knees

And life can be so wonderful

It breaks you piece by piece

[Chorus]

Hold her open, watch her bleed

She'll be everything your body needs

She'll cast your future like the best of them

And we can blame it on the Shadowman

[Verse 2]

Life can be so beautiful

You do not feel his teeth

And life can be so wonderful

It drowns you while you sleep

[Chorus]

Hold her open, watch her bleed

She'll be everything your body needs

She'll cast your futurе like the best of thеm

And we can blame it on the Shadowman

[Bridge]

Long shadows cross my room

Shadowman, Shadowman, calling on me soon

Dark shadows through my veins

Shadowman, Shadowman, numbing all my pain

Long shadows cross the moon

Shadowman, Shadowman, coming for me soon

Dark shadows through my heart

Shadowman, Shadowman, tearing me apart

[Chorus]

Hold her open, watch her bleed

She'll be everything your body needs

She'll cast your future like the best of them

And we can blame it on the Shadowman
