th Fret Intro: (4x) Does the Shadowman possess you? Is your dream still sweet and real? Pain will always follow pleasure That's how Nature cuts her deal Every moment precious It was time alone we'd steal First it's heaven, then it's hell To allow all that we feel I'm going down to these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah Shadowlands Try, what you can't cure, you must endure In these Shadowlands Bridge: Climbing and disowning You've made acquisitions Trading love for the masquerade Just to realize positions You put your mouth in someone else's pocket So you still need someone to blame You turn your victim over But lay bare your face and name You who vanquish memories In your power lust for fame Brother Banquo he'll be calling Yeah, it's Halloween again I may be leaning' on his shoulder In ya killing fields of shame And I'll return from these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah Shadowlands Ah, what we don't cure must be endured In these shadowlands Lead Break: (Yeah, yeah) (These shadowlands) (Shadowlands) Where e'er the Fates may hide us From the dark seas of our dreams I pray you yet may find us If you share these final scenes By God's grace, let you be the one Who'll hear every sad refrain In the echoes of a love song On The Late Show playing A survivor of the airwaves Seen the sun going down in flames While framed against the doorway A silhouette in chains Hell-bound for these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah Shadowlands Ah, what we don't cure must be endured In these Shadowlands And if we won't learn we sure will burn In Shadowlands OUTRO: (## fade to end ##) (In Shadowlands) (Shadowlands) (Going down to Shadowlands)
