Racing Shadows Lyrics - Eloy

There's nowhere left to hide 

from the fatman and all his lies 

a TV puppet-politician 

He thinks his words so fine 

great, important, and divine 

a 20th century magician 

in reality he's nothing but a shark 

He appears to be a shadow in the dark 

He's making rules and laws 

to satisfy his greed paws 

He's got this art down to perfection 

Ideals improvised 

what's good for him is legalised 

for he's the leader of the nation 

but a dog that bites 

will seldom ever bark 

all his slogans fade to nothingness 

for he is but a shadow in the darkness 

every step they take 

every move they make 

everything is fake 

just an illusion 

madmen rise and fall 

many heads may roll 

but they don't care at all 

and sow confusion 

Their perverted schemes 

are reaching their peak 

insanity reigns 

Simple parasites 

they feed off the weak 

posessing their brains 

undercover of the titles they hold 

that makes them so bold 

another blindman trips and falls 

and deaf men cannot hear at all 

they smile towards 

their self destruction 

yes-men nod and bow their heads 

could own their own minds but instead 

they're just like puppets of corruption 

and they play their game while corpses 

pave their way 

and they'll force a smile 

until the day the racing shadows 

finally fade away 

there's a fire burning in our hearts 

it throws a light upon their dubious talk 

let the fire burn 

to disclise all their lies 

let them play their games 

but be true to yourself 

and the flames will rage 

until the day 

the racing shadows finally fade away
