King Diamond (Band)
Shapes of Black
[Verse 1]
I'm dressed in black with my stick and hat
So this is the end, where it all will begin
[Chorus 1]
Shapes of black on the floor
Shapes of black behind every door
[Verse 2]
They keep sucking on the light until
There is no more light to find in here
Hello reality, goodbye to my sanity
[Chorus 2]
Shapes of black on my bed
Shapes of black all around my head
[Post-Chorus]
Shh, they are here
Can you hear them breathe?
Listen
[Bridge]
There's a spider on the wall, watching shadows as they crawl
Is the darkness the only way for the other side to enter our life?
Ah-ah-ah, I see them, ah-ah-ah, I feel them
Ah-ah-ah, I see them, ah-ah-ah, I feel them
Closer and closer, human shapes made from the dark
I see a black moth fighting for it's life
In the flame of the last candle that I have
[Guitar Solo: Mike Wead]
[Pre-Chorus]
Shh, one of them is really close
Can you feel it? Can you hear it?
[Chorus 2]
Shapes of black on my bed
Shapes of black all around my head
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Chorus 3]
Shapes of black, they try to kill my flame
Shapes of black, ah, they're driving me insane
[Outro]
So little time
So little light
So little time, light
No more light
