Holy Shadows Lyrics by Edguy

Theater of Salvation

1999

You're a child of an old illusion
Can't you hear it cry?
You live your life to the exclusion
Of what they call a lie

The touch of evil, it is getting stronger
You'd better hide in the daylight
Or you won't stand the temptation no longer
And you will ask if your way is right

Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows always follow
Holy chains on, holy shadows

When you are Eve then I am temptation
I am the words you're not allowed to say
The animal of their revelation
'Cause I can take your fears away

They make you blind and they want you to follow
"Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!"
My wicked kiss on your virgin lips
Will be a pleasant way you'll see it

Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows always follow
Holy chains on, holy shadows

Let's get down on the floor
You'll be screaming for more
When out bodies collide
I'll make you feel alright
Never give in when they call it sin!

Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows always follow
Holy chains on, holy shadows
Holy shadows always follow
Holy chains on, holy shadows
Holy shadows always follow
Holy chains on, holy shadows
Holy
