Strum
D-DU-UDU
Staring at the dark with hungry eyes
The moonlight flickered and a shadow cried
A gold ring flashed as the howling stopped
I called her name as the West Wind dropped
I called her name as the West Wind dropped
I brushed her on the arm with a silver cane
took her by the hand and saw her pain
My breath smelt like a burning house with bitter cold words upon my mouth
With bitter cold words upon my mouth
A cold dark figure is on the loose
With bright sharp teeth to fight the truth
I'll steal your honour and tell you lies
Leave you alone in the blood red skies
Leave you all alone in a blood red sky (repeat)
I wake up late in the midday sun
Reach for a shadow and I'll be gone
Through empty trees and storm-blown trees
Praying to the night to set you free
You'll be praying to the night to set you free.
(chorus)
Falling shadow and a cold embrace
Cross your heart and you'll see my face (repeat once)
(repeat chorus ad lib)
