Shadow Knows

Late at night, you hear the footsteps behind you 
Is it just imagination, or the devil in disguise? 
Deeper in the darkness, don't know what you're getting into 
Could it be the apparition, of the fear before your eyes? 

[Chorus:] 
Black gates of hell, they burn in fire 
Fear wraps its fingers around your neck 
Your fight is worse than your desire 
To watch the shadows disappear 

There in the dark, you're sure there's something lurking 
You tell yourself it can't be, don't want to believe 
Your fear starts running wild, your heart starts to thrash 
Before it gets the best of you, your mind you must bring back 

What evil lurks in minds of man? 
The Shadow knows 
What evil lurks in minds of man? 
The Shadow knows 
What evil lurks in minds of man? 
The Shadow knows 
What evil lurks in minds of man? 
The Shadow knows 
What evil lurks in minds of man? 
Yeah, yes - The Shadow knows 

Late at night, you hear the footsteps behind you 
Is it just imagination, or the devil in disguise? 
Deeper in the darkness, don't know what you're getting into 
Could it be the apparition, of the fear before your eyes? 

[Chorus x2]
