Chaotic Hermit - Dance With the Shadow Man Lyrics

Shadows dance upon the wall
Midnight drums, I hear their call
Got a story that I have to tell
'Bout the deal that led me to hell
There's a man hangs out on Bourbon Street
Selling wishes but they're incomplete
Got a smile that's made of gold
Trading secrets for your soul
There's a man hangs out on Bourbon Street
Selling wishes but they're incomplete
Got a smile that's made of gold
Trading secrets for your soul (for your soul)
Dance with the Shadow Man
He knows where you've been
Dance with the Shadow Man
He knows all your sins
With him you just can't win
You just can't win (You can't win)
You just can't win
In the shadows of the night
Where the candles burn too bright
He appears through a purple haze
With promises to set your mind ablaze (your mind ablaze)
Dance with the Shadow Man
He knows where you've been
Dance with the Shadow Man
He knows all your sins
With him you just can't win
You just can't win (You can't win)
You just can't win (You can't win)
Every wish comes with a price
Roll them bones, even roll them twice
What you want ain't what you get
But now your soul's trapped in his net
All those wishes turn to chains
Every blessing brings a new pain
(Shadow Man knows, Shadow Man knows)
What you gained today you'll lose tomorrow
All your happiness ends in sorrow (Shadow Man)
Shadow Man wants your soul (Shadow Man)
Shadow Man wants your soul
(Shadow Man wants your soul)
(Shadow Man, Shadow Man wants your soul)
Now the debt comes due at last
Can't outrun your twisted past
Shadow Man just laughs and plays
While your world goes up in flames
Dance with the Shadow Man
He knows where you've been
Dance with the Shadow Man
He knows all your sins (all your sins)
With him you just can't win
You just can't win (You can't win)
You just can't win
You just can't win
Shadow Man
Shadow Man
Shadow Man
