[Verse 1]
Boots on the rafters
Black cloth over green eyes
Laughing at lanterns
That think they can catch my light
Dice in my pocket
Names on the tip of my tongue
You never saw the lock turn
You only feel what I’ve done
[Chorus]
I am the shadowfriend
Your secrets slip into my hand
Step
Step
Gone again
Like I was never in this land
I walk where the torches end
Where every oath comes loose and bends
Say a prayer
Hold your breath
I am the shadowfriend
[Verse 2]
Raised under starfall
Taught how to vanish in leaves
Tracing the weak seams
In armor and in beliefs
I drink with the fighters
Smile at the shine on their steel
They charge the front doors
I’m already in the keep
[Chorus]
I am the shadowfriend
Your secrets slip into my hand
Step
Step
Gone again
Like I was never in this land
I walk where the torches end
Where every oath comes loose and bends
Say a prayer
Hold your breath
I am the shadowfriend
[Bridge]
Every scar is a story I never told (never told)
Every mark on the map another debt I’m owed
Trust me or hunt me
Either way I’m close
Right at your back when you swear you’re alone (hey!)
[Chorus]
I am the shadowfriend
Your secrets slip into my hand
Step
Step
Gone again
Like I was never in this land
I walk where the torches end
Where every oath comes loose and bends
Say a prayer
Hold your breath
I am the shadowfriend
