Shadow Play - Diorama

They lie in wait

At the barricades

When they draw nearer

We are scaring them away

It’s the shadow play the shadow play

The shadow play

It’s the shadow play the shadow play

The shadow play

With you as King

We won’t go down

With you as King

We are scaring them away

It’s the shadow play

We known ourselves

There’s a mole within our ranks

Smoke him out

And his hocus-pocus

Get him running with the rats

Get him running with the rats

Get him running with the rats

Get him running with the rats

There’s a hole in my head

And the fat’s lying bare

And the rats are running in and out

An opaque cabaret

An internal affair

And the mole is never scared away

I’m candid and fair

I don’t hackle the speaker

In the evening prayer

I try not to think

In this total eclipse

I’m the shadow player
