The Shapeshifter / The Grim Reaper Lyrics

Night train passes

The last one of the night

Far away, the sounds of day decay

And I just wanna stay here in the artificial lights (Stay in all the lights)

Oh, to see you

Light up in the dark

The things I say may not always be true

But when I'm here with you, you know it's always from the heart (Oh it's from the heart)

In words and with actions

I'll become whatever you desire

I'll be your shining knight

The golden light of which I sang so long ago

And no one knows what shape i will shift to

Tonight

Some find comfort behind a podium

To spout whatever they've been told to say

And I've always lived that way although to you it may seem dumb (Although it's dumb)

But there's a new voice in my soliloquy

"Maybe you can love me as i am"

And if you really can, why did it take so long to see? (Why don't you see?)

Is this my redemption?

Will I come back, wherever I have been?

And if I'm willing to go running through the rain

There is a chance that there may still be room for me

Can i board the night train?

Night train passes

The last one of the night

I'm the only passenger it seems

I'm stuck between extremes

No destination feels quite right (Nothing feels right)

Oh darling, it feels like

My whole world is bursting at the seams

And in the midst of all suspicions falling down around me

I can see a figure cloaked in black

In black

"My introductions are in order

I've walked beside you for some time

My name is Death, I've come here to escort you past the border

I've seen your idiotic fumblings

all your embarrassed second thoughts

and every chance you've squandered unintelligibly mumbling

It can't be that hard!

You knew there would come a day

When I would take you far away

As far away as you will ever get

But I have become your friend

Throughout the years, and in the end

This time for you I'm willing to forget

(But) I will return, my quota must be met

So make this one your best adventure yet"
