Shadow Of Fear

Madness


I walk through Camden town in the evening, 
strolling silently and hardly breathing. 
Footsteps behind me slightly quicker, 
the corner of my eye a shadowy flicker. 

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight. 
Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight. 
I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware, 
don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair. 

Tonight my fears are growing worse and worse. 
I feel him brewing up an evil curse. 
I sense a chill creep up my spine 
I want to scream but only whine 
because I know it can't be true 
mind's gone now legs it's up to you. 

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight. 
Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight. 
I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware, 
don't want to get involved in my spititual affair 

I try to accept him as my partner. 
He still makes cold his manic laughter. 
But every time I try to turn around he throws my fears 
and makes no sound he stirs them to the ground. 

Acheing muscles, puff and pant I run. 
To stagger home and hide behind my mum. 
But even when I'm safely in my bed. 
I know that he is waiting in my head. 

I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight. 
Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight. 
I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware, 
don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair.
