Oh, it's night again   And the dark just killed the sun   If the light must end   You've got time to run away      There's a door to dreams   And it always lets you in   But with a silent scream   All the nightmares must begin      Still you chase what you can't see   Like death and pain and sin   And the shadow of the wind   The shadow of the wind      You'll remember me   I could make you disappear   Be where you want to be   Just as long as it's not here      Well, I'm back and stronger   And the first one's always free   And it lasts much longer   You can bet your sanity      'Never more', the victim cries   As I slip beneath the skin   Like the shadow of the wind   The shadow of the wind      If words had names like red and green   And two for sympathy   Black and white and in between   Then you'd be misery      Every day is an inquisition   Who are you? What are you? Why?   I'm alive, I belong, I'll be back   It's a half truth, still a whole lie      In the garden of good and evil   You'll know but you know   The spider only spins   The shadow of the wind   The shadow of the wind
