James Clive Scott - Shadowman Lyrics

When the shadow man comes calling
In the hour of the wolf
And you try to keep from screaming
When you hear the cloven hoof

When the candles start to flicker
And lightning fills the sky
He'll take your mind and own your thoughts
He'll lead you on his way

Shadow man Shadow man
Get thee far behind me
I'm just trying to be a good man so
Just set me free set me free

He whispers while you're sleeping
He whispers when you wake
Give in to your anger Give in to your hate
Shadow man says hey there son
Just blame another race
And when your woman questions you
Show her your real face

There's a billion men just like you
The think they're living but they've died
They've all unleashed their anger
And they howl their battle cry

They march to hatred's banner
They kill for killing's sake
And the shadow man just laughs and laughs
As he drives them to the fate

Shadow man Shadow man
Get thee far behind me
I'm trying to be a good man so
Just set me free

Why is it men who seem to have the eternal need
To dominate their fellow man and live in greed
And wrap in false flags of nation race and creed
To poison all creation with the shadow seed

Shadow man keeps laughing
Whenever we give in
When we close our hearts to love
He screams I win

When the shadow man comes calling
In the hour of the wolf
And you try and keep from screaming
When you hear the cloven hoof

When the shadow man comes crawling
For the sake all you love
Man, don't let him in
Put your trust in God above

Shadow man Shadow man
Get thee far behind me
I'm a good man I love my family
Just set me free set me free
