Kissing The Shadows Lyrics
Children Of Bodom
Lyrics
Hight above your shadow smiles at me.
Way down below I hear your serenely breathe.
I'm running after you throughout
the valleys of tormented souls,
don't you be afraid of me only kissing your shadow...
You're so far away, I can feel your scent,
when I caress your shadow,
and if you truly want I'll cross the line, I'll follow.
I'm dreaming my way out from down below.
To get wherever you haunting from, I'll go...
I'm kissing the shadows you surround me with,
to feel my pain vanishing away from me.
Your touching the shadows I'm surrounding you with,
so together in peace we shall be.
I'm running after you throughout
the valleys of tormented souls,
don't you be afraid of me only kissing your shadow...
You're so far away, I can your scent,
when I caress your shadow,
and if you truly want I'll cross the line, I'll follow.
