Broken down a nervous wreck yet there is no regrets
All the prestige drains my soul as illness takes to bed
It's time I need to ease my mind and become new again
So rest my child and be cleansed for breakdown's not the end

But what is this? What leads me from my room?
An apparition? It beckons me

In this place here I rest while doctors roam the halls
Yes, I'm alone inside myself to struggle with my fears
And there it is I can see a shadow on the wall
Calling me towards the end and onwards to the morgue

But the fear it takes my breath away
So near is the lonely world of death

I try to think of other things yet it is always near
I just can't help but walk its path and end up at the morgue
No, not the morgue, no, not that dreaded place

The morgue is cold and stinks of death, the bodies freezing cold
I feel the grasp of something strange pulling at my soul
The dead just laying on their slabs sends chills right down my spine
And there's that shadow on the wall its image stains my mind

That shadow, that shadow on the wall
That shadow creeping down the wall
What does this tell me of my mind this crazy lunacy?
I fear that this is a sign that death is wanting me

That shadow, that shadow on the wall
That shadow creeping down the wall
That shadow, that shadow on the wall
That shadow creeping down the wall
Down the wall

My release from this place should take this all away
My mind has healed up long enough for life it now awaits
So off I'll go into the sky and ride the flying plane
Back to a place where I belong the soothing hand of fame

But wait it's that shadow once again
My fate is in my own hands
I run away from the boarding plane that takes off in the night
As up in flames death does claim everyone but I

That shadow, that shadow warned me of the end
That shadow, that shadow let me live again
That shadow, that shadow pulled me from the flames
That shadow, a premonition, a premonition
