Shadow Play - Poets Of The Fall

I can feel it in the air, I can feel it young and strong

Like an intoxicating dare (like an intoxicating dare)

For some residue of joy, simple pleasures and delights

Would you buy that ruthless ploy, would you buy that ploy?

Mark my words, it’s not quite what you thought

Shadow play

Directed by you

Love portrays Ms. Take

The Oscar goes to Hate

Dragons slain

The princess rescued

It’s all what you create

Your shadows will be played

And here now comes the sweet caress, unreality to guide us

With a forceful righteousness (with a forceful righteousness)

And you can taste the kiss of death, more divine than breath I know

Always just the right address, just the right caress

Mark my words, it’s not quite what you thought

Shadow play

Love portrays Ms. Take

The Oscar goes to Hate

Dragons slain

The princess rescued

It’s all what you create

Your shadows will be played

So this is what you think you need to play the game

A pretty royal flush of second hand fame

For proof of excellence, for critical acclaim

Aloof preeminence preceding your pen name

Clichés of violence and off mark blame

Some character flaws to masticate the shame

Sex in a dress in a wide array

Sex in a suit, hello, happy birthday

Mark my words, it’s never what you thought

Shadow play

Directed by you

Love portrays Ms. Take

The Oscar goes to Hate

Dragons slain

The princess rescued

It’s all what you create

Your shadows will be played

It’s all what you create

Your shadows will be played
