The Shadow Man Incident

"The Shadow Man Incident" Lyrics by Dream Theater

A frightened child

Pulls his blanket overhead

His mind runs wild

Amidst the silence

He can feel his stare

Intruder in the room

But no one’s there

He could hardly move

Frozen like a stone

This is more than just a terrifying dream

The shadow’s always watching

Embrace the shadow!

She’s half asleep

Bedroom window open wide

Can hardly breathe

As a figure creeps inside

She sees no face

An expressionless black hole

She’s too afraid to run or speak or hide

Can he peer into her soul?

This is more than just a terrifying dream

The shadow’s always watching

Standing at seven feet tall he’s a sight to behold

Tales of the man in the hat surfaced centuries ago

Wearing a flowing black cloak and a watch on a chain

He stands in the corner in darkness as you go insane

Fighting for breath as the incubus sits on your chest

The night demon waits as you dream, standing over your bed

Night, it will be forever changed

Will the shadow be revealed?

Can we ever know his name?

Endless night

Not a soul will hear you scream

And you never will escape

From the devil in your dreams

Endless night

Endless night

The vision that lives off your fear

Making you panic and sweat

He hides in the mist, but does he exist?

A stranger you’ll never forget

He waits at the end of the hall

A presence you cannot explain

One minute he’s there

Turn your back then he’s gone

You’d better pray

He never calls out your name

Night, it will be forever changed

Will the shadow be revealed?

Can we ever know his name?

Endless night

Not a soul will hear you scream

And you never will escape

From the devil in your dreams

Endless night

Endless night

Endless night

Terrifying nightmares shared around the world

Stories of a faceless man

Who goes by many names

And traps us in his fearful gaze

A stranger in the mist

In the darkness of the night

Who leaves us paralyzed

As you fall asleep

Better keep a watchful eye

And maybe leave a light on tonight

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up!
