The Shadow King

[Verse]
The wind it whispers low and cruel
A voice like silk but icy cool
The trees they twist
The shadows grow
A phantom calls
But where to go

[Prechorus]
He hums a tune
So sweet
So wrong
His words a spell
His grip is strong

[Chorus]
Run
Run
Don't look behind
The Shadow King is in your mind
His promises are gilded lies
Run before the daylight dies

[Verse 2]
The boy he clings
His father's hand
A stranger's touch
A ghostly strand
"Come child
Come
The night is ours
I offer dreams and endless hours"

[Prechorus]
The father's voice
A desperate cry
"Hold tight
My son
We'll pass him by"

[Chorus]
Run
Run
Don't look behind
The Shadow King is in your mind
His promises are gilded lies
Run before the daylight dies
