Shadow Eaters

The planets are shaking

Their heads at the earth

Oh what has become of their sister in blue

Don't be deterred, agent provocateur

As you parade, while you know

Someone's aiming at you

People's backstreet ways

Fall into place

Tokens to be found

They track down lies

Antagonize the decoy

"Make your choice!"

They wanna make you raise your voice

To fight for a change

It's always the same

And what if this life is feeling

Like a world of bliss to you

And you don't feel like

Going against the grain today?

I believe

Will you ever see them in the blinding light

To defy defiance and swallow evil

Here come the shadow eaters

I believe although you shouldn't watch them

Without safety glasses

They strike at sunrise - angel squad

Here come the shadow eaters

One hundred seventy five zillion

And three thousand eight hundred

And twenty nines lives

In history approximately

Laid at the door of him

Who never knew and if he did

I'm not quite sure that

He would quite have agreed

Backstreet ways - into place

Tokens to be found

Track down lies, antagonize the decoy

They chase down grief

To wallow in and make believe

You ain't gonna win whatever way:

We're all gonna die

Mean and sly

And somewhere in between

There's life they say

But what if we're not made

To overshadow black?

I believe

Will you ever see them in the blinding light

To defy defiance and conquer evil

Here come the shadow eaters

I believe you don't see 'em

With or without safety glasses

They strike at sunrise - angel battalion

Here come the shadow eaters

I believe

Don't think you'll ever see them

With your naked eye

And they're tired of showing off on demand

They are shadow eaters

I believe although we never see them

Cause they fly from reason

Tiny but forceful

I tell you, hmm, those shadow eaters...
