Does the shadowman possess you? Is your dream still sweet and real? Pain will always follow pleasure That's how Nature cuts her deal With every moment precious It was time alone we'd steal First it's heaven then it's hell To allow all that we feel I'm going down to these shadowlands Shadowlands What you can't cure you must endure In shadowlands Climbing and disowning You've made acquisitions Trading love for the masquerade Just to realize positions You put your mouth in someone else's pocket So you still need need someone to blame You turn your victim over But lay bare your face and name To you who vanquish memory, In your powerlust for fame, Brother Banquo he'll be calling Yeah it's halloween again . . . I may be leanin' on his shoulder In these killing fields of shame And I'll return from These Shadowlands Shadowlands What we don't cure must be endured In these shadowlands Where e'er the Fates may hide us From the dark seas of our dreams I pray you yet may find us If you share these final scenes By God's grace let you be the one Who'll hear the sad refrain From the echoes of a love song On The Late Show playin' A survivor of the airwaves Sees the sun going down in flame Framed against his doorway A silhouette in chains... Hell-bound for these shadowlands Shadowlands What we don't cure must be endured In these shadowlands And if we won't learn for sure we'll burn In these Shadowlands
