They lie in wait At the barricades When they draw nearer We are scaring them away It's the shadow play the shadow play The shadow play It's the shadow play the shadow play The shadow play
With you as king We won't go down With you as king We are scaring them away It's the shadow play
We known ourselves There's a mole within our ranks Smoke him out And his hocus-pocus Get him running with the rats Get him running with the rats Get him running with the rats Get him running with the rats
There's a hole in my head And the fat's lying bare And the rats are running in and out An opaque cabaret An internal affair And the mole is never scared away I'm candid and fair I don't hackle the speaker In the evening prayer I try not to think In this total eclipse I'm the shadow player
