Truth in the Shadows

She liked to walk
through the night all alone
watching the moon behind the trees.
In her beauty you see peace,
in her smile all the dreams
in which every man believes.

He stood in the park
all alone
drinking the rest of his beer.
In his worn out face
you see hard times
and his scars show a lack of fear.

Refrain
There's a threat in the shadows
vanishing in the wind.
What you see remains hidden
without leaving a hint.

The motive might be found
in constant distress,
who explains what leads to hate?
But still there is
no excuse for such a deed,
only tears for the victim's fate.

Refrain

Her eyes opened in horror
realizing the deed,
she drops down on her knees in pain.
The bloody knife hits the ground,
her wet eyes start to race,
as she escapes from a corpse, again.

Refrain (2x)

There's a truth in the shadows
vanishing in the wind.
What you see remains hidden
without leaving a hint.
