[Verse 1]
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak, but the music is louder than
All of their roar
With the heat of the planet's core
[Chorus]
But the shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
[Verse 2]
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known, it can only bend
To a tune of its own
Hey, you'll never hear that voice again
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that you're having the
Time of your life
When your life is on the slide
[Chorus]
But the shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
Shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh
[Verse 3]
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive
You can stand, and you can soar
Whichever way, you can be sure that
[Chorus]
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
Shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
[Outro]
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
