Standing in the Shadow - Demon

There’s a shadow in the dark

A Surgeon with a rusty knife

There’s a tiger in a cage

And he’s waiting to be free

Oh don’t go out there

Someone’s moving in the dark

Wait until the coast is clear

Before you step into the scene

You have to know what is for real

Oh don’t go out there

Standing in the shadow on the opening night

Waiting for the curtain, can’t you feel the bright light?

Standing in the shadow, now there so much more

Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime

There’s a cast of thousands

An army waiting in the wings

A ghost out on the balcony

The master’s holding centre stage

Oh don’t go out there

Feel the pounding in your heart

The tension of a waiting game

But when the memory catches fire

Even whores have dreams

Oh don’t go out there

Standing in the shadow on the opening night

Waiting for the curtain, can’t you feel the bright light?

Standing in the shadow, now there so much more

Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime

And in the still night a small boy cries

Hands a tremble for his mother’s arms

Now there’s no-one there

This is the moment his time has come

And through the trap door

He makes his break his journey has begun

Standing in the shadow on the opening night

Waiting for the curtain, can’t you feel the bright light?

Standing in the shadow, now there so much more

Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime

Standing in the shadow on the opening night

Waiting for the curtain, can’t you feel the bright light?

Standing in the shadow, now there so much more

Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime
