In the Shadow of the Demon (Rock Version) Lyrics

Whispers crawl inside my mind

Heavy breathing, close behind

I feel it… closing in

It's under my skin.

Footsteps echo, but no one's there

A presence thickens the midnight air

Eyes like fire, burning deep

Haunting me in every dream

Scratching claws on the floor, I hear

A demon's voice, it draws me near

Cold fingers trace my spine

It's coming for me… this time

In the shadow of the demon, I'm never alone

Its eyes are burning, it's carved in stone

It stalks my breath, it steals my light

In the shadow of the demon, I'm losing the fight

In the shadow of the demon, crawling near

I feel its grip, I taste its fear

Dragging me down, pulling me in

In the shadow of the demon, I'll never win

I feel you… in every breath

You're inside me… closer to death

Chains rattle, but I can't see

I'm trapped inside its twisted symphony

No escape, no light, no door

The demon hungers for more...

The walls are cracking, shadows creep

I hear it whisper while I try to sleep

Clawing at my sanity

It wants to take what's left of me

Every step, it's right behind

The demon's presence warps my mind

I hear its voice, it calls my name

Dragging me into its twisted game

In the shadow of the demon, crawling near

I feel its grip, I taste its fear

Dragging me down, pulling me in

In the shadow of the demon, I'll never win

In the shadow of the demon, I'm never alone

Its eyes are burning, it's carved in stone

It stalks my breath, it steals my light

In the shadow of the demon, I'm losing the fight

In the shadow of the demon, crawling near

I feel its grip, I taste its fear

Dragging me down, pulling me in

In the shadow of the demon, I'll never win

No light can save me

No prayer can break free

It owns my body, it owns my mind

Nowhere to hide, no place to find

In the shadow of the demon, it swallows my soul

Its hunger grows, it takes control

It stalks my life, and fills my veins

In the shadow of the demon, all that remains…

In the shadow of the demon, crawling near

I feel its grip, I taste its fear

Dragging me down, pulling me in

In the shadow of the demon, I'll never win

I can feel it...

It's here...

Always... here…
