WIDE OPEN MAN IN THE WILDERNESS
WITH EYES AS WIDE AS THE ROAD IS LONG
EVERY DAY MY SHADOW GROWS
LONGER WITH THE SETTING SUN
CUT BY THE RAIN AND WHIPPED BY THE WIND
I SEE SHAPES IN THE DARK AND PRICK UP MY EARS
SCATTER MYSELF PIECE BY PIECE ON THE WAY
SHIELDED FROM ENEMIES IN THE NIGHT
THE SHADOWS ARE SMILING
SHADOWS ARE SMILING
SHADOWS ARE SMILING
MY DARKNESS IS SMILING
THE DARKNESS IS SMILING
I DON'T SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE I CAN'T READ THE SIGNS
AND LIKE A GHOST I WILL COME AND GO
SOFTLY SCREAMING A LULLABY
YOU KEEP YOUR LOVER BY YOUR SIDE
SINCE I'M INVISIBLE I CAN SURVIVE
CAMOUFLAGE THE MADNESS INSIDE
