(Verse 1)
Streetlights flicker, one by one
Another day is nearly done
But for me, the night's just starting
A silent, solitary hearting
I'm a ghost, a passing breeze
Hiding in the hollow trees
No one sees me, no one knows
The secrets of the city's woes
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm watching from the shadows
Checking out what's lurking in the hollow
A silent watcher in the night
Bringing the unseen into the light
I see the lies and the hidden truths
The buried past of forgotten youths
Yeah, I'm watching from the shadows
Checking out what's lurking in the hollow
(Verse 2)
A figure moves down a lonely lane
Walking through the falling rain
A whispered word, a fleeting glance
A forbidden, risky dance
I see the deals made in the dark
Leaving a haunting, empty mark
The city's heartbeat, a troubled drum
A symphony of what's to come
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm watching from the shadows
Checking out what's lurking in the hollow
A silent watcher in the night
Bringing the unseen into the light
I see the lies and the hidden truths
The buried past of forgotten youths
Yeah, I'm watching from the shadows
Checking out what's lurking in the hollow
(Bridge)
The wind whispers tales of what's been done
Beneath the cold and distant sun
The concrete jungle holds its breath
A silent, suffocating death
But I'll be here, a silent friend
'Til the very bitter end
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm watching from the shadows
Checking out what's lurking in the hollow
A silent watcher in the night
Bringing the unseen into the light
I see the lies and the hidden truths
The buried past of forgotten youths
Yeah, I'm watching from the shadows
Checking out what's lurking in the hollow
(Outro)
In the hollow...
In the shadows...
Always watching...
I am here.
