Shadow on the Street

Verse 1

The river still remembers every stone

A century of faces watched me go

I press my palm against the windowpane

The city drowns in cold November rain

Pre-Chorus

And every heart is beating

Every blood-red moon is mine

Chorus

I am the hunger that never sleeps

I am the shadow on the street

Come closer

Feel the centuries beneath my teeth

Come closer

You were always meant to be my feast

Post-Chorus

Beneath this endless night

Beneath this endless night

Verse 2

I held your name inside a rotting church

The candle burned and left me in the dirt

The velvet curtain falls on yesterday

But hunger never learns to fade away

Pre-Chorus

And every bell is tolling

Every pulse a distant rhyme

Chorus

I am the hunger that never sleeps

I am the shadow on the street

Come closer

Feel the centuries beneath my teeth

Come closer

You were always meant to be my feast

Bridge

And the church bells sing

(oh the bells sing low)

To the lonely dead

(where the wild vines grow)

And I call your name

(call it through the dark)

But the echo fades

(fades into the stark)

Chorus

I am the hunger that never sleeps

I am the shadow on the street

Come closer

Feel the centuries beneath my teeth

Come closer

You were always meant to be my feast

Outro

(come closer)

(come closer)

(until the dark remembers)

(until the dark remembers me)
