Late at night, you hear the footsteps behind you

Is it just imagination, or the devil in disguise?

Deeper in the darkness, don't know what you're getting into

Could it be the apparition, of the fear before your eyes?



[Chorus:]

Black gates of hell, they burn in fire

Fear wraps its fingers around your neck

Your fight is worse than your desire

To watch the shadows disappear 



There in the dark, you're sure there's something lurking

You tell yourself it can't be, don't want to believe

Your fear starts running wild, your heart starts to thrash

Before it gets the best of you, your mind you must bring back



What evil lurks in minds of man?

The Shadow knows

What evil lurks in minds of man?

The Shadow knows

What evil lurks in minds of man?

The Shadow knows

What evil lurks in minds of man?

The Shadow knows

What evil lurks in minds of man?

Yeah, yes - The Shadow knows



Late at night, you hear the footsteps behind you

Is it just imagination, or the devil in disguise?

Deeper in the darkness, don't know what you're getting into

Could it be the apparition, of the fear before your eyes?



[Chorus x2]
