• There is another side
    To everything.
    ‘The Dark Side’
    So it’s called.

    We call them ‘shadows’.

    What if the shadow that follows you around
    Lives in a world all of its own?
    We live in a world full of light, and happiness,
    But what is it that lies beyond?

    We fear that time, when the lights go down
    And the dusk arrives.
    And when the light is gone,
    We let the darkness thrive.

    By twilight, our shadow has ceased to follow us,
    And it becomes a demon of sorts.
    There has always been a reason why we humans
    Are so terrified of the dark.

    Because the memories are revived
    As the light fades away.
    And as the memories are relived,
    It all feels so real,

    But you’re just jumping at shadows.

    See, in the dark,
    You’re not as strong as you thought you’d be.
    In the dark, the only thing no one can hear
    Are all of your tormented screams.

    You’re weary of what’s lurking behind you.
    You’re conscious of the beast in front of you.
    Inside of you; howling,
    Prepare for the night.

    The memories are revived
    As the light fades away.
    And as the memories are relived,
    It all feels so real,

    But you’re just jumping at shadows.

    In the darkness, you can no long see.
    The light once surrounding you has already fled.
    Now tell me, the shadows whisper in your ear,
    How would you like it to end?

    Let your imagination soar.
    There’s so many ways.
    Come now; just let everything slip away.
    You want it, so badly.

    So badly…

    Because the memories are always revived
    As the light fades away.
    And as the memories are relived,
    It all feels so real,

    But you’re just jumping at shadows.

    You turn around and face the beast
    Which before had only tormented you in your dreams.
    Cringe away and close your eyes;
    It all just has to be in your mind…

    You hear your name called,
    And the demon of your dreams disappears.
    You hear your name again,
    Turn around, the voice says.

    I’m here.

    And you do, you turn.
    And in this darkness there stands an angel.
    And she smiles, and you can’t help but smile back.
    You reach out your hand, knowing she’d save you.

    But something is not quite right.
    The demons in the shadows have found an opening.
    The darkness engulfs her, and the angel disappears,
    And now you’re all alone in the dark again.

    You want to give in to the madness.
    You’re jumping at shadows.
    You want to give in to the darkness,
    Just convinced you’ll never see the light;

    You’re jumping at shadows.

    You want to give in to the painful memories.
    You’re jumping at shadows.
    You just want the pain to stop,
    The torture to end;

    You’re jumping at shadows.
