Flying like birds of prey deep in the night

Talons are sharpened, wings ready for flight

Killing and eating all they see in sight

Ghosts of the shadows are hunting for life

They hold it up to see what it is

And find a heart still beating

You're crushed in the palm of their hands

They're the ghosts of shadows

Youre gonna die

Clawing and striking and testing the skin

Between our worlds for a way to get in

The veil between our worlds growing so thin

They'll make it through on the eve of Samhain

They hold it up to see what it is

And find a heart still beating

You're crushed in the palm of their hands

They're the ghosts of shadows

You're gonna die

See them passing between the astral plane

Into our world, back into theirs. They pass inbetween

They're the ones who were cast from the shadows

Darkness projecting from those who must feed

Chasing you down til' your breath becomes shallow

Peirced by the claws, torn apart with their teeth

A host of shades that drifts on the wind

They're called the ghosts of shadows

They leave your circle torn to shreds

They penetrate the spells you weave

And lead you to the gallows

And wrap the noose around your neck

A host of shades that drifts on the wind

Theyre called the ghosts of shadows

They leave your circle torn to shreds

Ghosts of the shadows
