Shadow Play Lyrics - Poets Of The Fall

I can feel it in the air 

I can feel it young and strong 

Like an intoxicating dare 

(Like an intoxicating dare) 

For some residue of joy 

Simple pleasures and delights 

Would you buy that ruthless ploy 

Would you buy that ploy? 

Mark my words 

It's not quite what you thought

Shadow play 

Directed by you 

Love portrays Ms. Take 

The Oscar goes to hate 

Dragons slain 

The princess rescued 

It's all what you create 

Your shadows will be played 

And here now comes the sweet caress 

Unreality to guide us 

With a forceful righteousness 

(With a forceful righteousness) 

And you can taste the kiss of death 

More divine than breath I know 

Always just the right address 

Just the right caress 

Mark my words 

It's not quite what you thought

Shadow play 

Directed by you 

Love portrays Ms. Take 

The Oscar goes to hate 

Dragons slain 

The princess rescued 

It's all what you create 

Your shadows will be played 

So this is what you think you need 

To play the game 

A pretty royal flush 

Of second hand fame 

For proof of excellence 

For critical acclaim 

Aloof preeminence 

Preceding your pen name 

Clichés of violence 

And off mark blame 

Some character flaws 

To masticate the shame 

Sex in a dress in a wide array 

Sex in a suit, hello, happy birthday 

Mark my words 

It's never what you thought 

Shadow play 

Directed by you 

Love portrays Ms. Take 

The Oscar goes to hate 

Dragons slain 

The princess rescued 

It's all what you create 

Your shadows will be played 

It's all what you create 

Your shadows will be played
