Im here once more to see you, each night I lay beside
Im casting dreams around you, I am your shadow side
Im opening the darkness, the doors you hide away
You fear me when you see me, yet Im with you every day
You may see me as a movement from the corner of your eye
Or hear a fleeting whisper, as a sleepless night goes by
I wonder why each meeting should cause you so much fright
When Im only just the side of you thats blocked out by the light
But still you all deny me and leave yourself less whole
In darkness were not blinded to the inner shadow soul
Im part of every one of you, the part you learn to hate
The crone, the dying mortal fears you refuse to integrate
And so become unbalanced, obsessed with golden light
But how can it be natural to strive to banish night
And think ourselves above the laws that govern all the Earth
And make ourselves our own God, with a plastic virgin birth
Where everything is beautiful, because were all too scared to say
How wrong it is, and false it is, instead just Have a nice day
But even if we did say maybe theyll change our DNA
Then well no more cast a shadow and not care either way
