[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
