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]
