The Hand of Shadows

Start from the beginning
                                    

Fellow man

Stop right there and back right up

Knock yourself into your senses

There is no more time and space for pretences

The hand of the shadows has come back

The hand of the shadows has been sent

Nature's gotten angry

We're all being choked

We're all being damned

We're all being sentenced

We need to change

It's not gonna be easy but then again 

Life wouldn't be life if it were

The hand of the shadows

The hand of evil

The hand of glory

It's clamped down on us

Fiction is all wrong

Evil is not of magic

Evil is not the unexplained

You haven't got a clue

You should watch Scooby Doo

The only monsters here

The only creates here

Are ourselves

In the words of Katy Perry

We're all hot n cold

We're all yes and then no

We switch opinion quicker than a light switch

No wonder

It's no wonder

That the shadows have risen

The shadows have invaded

No wonder

It's no wonder

Some have forgotten to love

Some have forgotten to trust

All they do is mistrust and hate

Let themselves be taken

Taken

(Taken)

Taken

(Taken)

Taken by the hand of shadows

Oh, way, oh

Fellow humans

Oh, woe, oh

Fellow man

Halt your unicorns

Freeze all your pegasi

Come together and look

Come together and see

Finally

Don't let the hand of shadows

(The hand of shadows)

Don't let the hand of shadows

(The hand of the shadows)

Win

(Win)

Win

(Win)

The hand of the shadows

The hand of evil

The hand of glory

It's clamped down on us

Fiction is all wrong

Evil is not of magic

Evil is not the unexplained

You haven't got a clue

You should watch Scooby Doo

Unmask yourselves

Unveil yourselves

You're the monsters

We all are

We're the villains here

We can't be egocentric

We need to become ecocentric

To stop the hand 

(The hand)

The hand

(The hand)

The hand of shadows
