A dark and heavy song included in the band’s album Iron Will (2008).
The song is about Kent Allard, a mysterious (fictional) vigilante of the cult pulp magazine known as The Shadow.
“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!”
The Shadow knows
The laugh will be the warning
He will break your mental wall
Pulverize resistance
Then sacrifice you all
His solemn promise given
To never be a slave
To stand among the fallen
And fight beyond the grave
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
Stare into the hearts of men
All misery, treachery
Through Secrecy, mastery, alchemy
Perish in his fire
The wight of procreation
Will never bring him down
Survive humiliation
And laugh when time is gone
The powers of corruption
Will shiver at his gaze
The weed of crime may blossom
But will perish in his flame
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
Stare into the hearts of men
All misery, treachery
Through secrecy, mastery, alchemy
Perish in his fire
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
Stare into the hearts of men
All misery, thievery, treachery
Perish in his fire
Through secrecy, mastery, alchemy
Perish in his fire
Misery, thievery, treachery
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
The Shadow knows
