Haunted
Boy in the Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darkened memories
Shadow illusions
Dead world within
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
Haunting me
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
Deserted city
Forsaken paradise
Forever twilight
Dead world within
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
Haunting me
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
This Halloween
It's that time of the year
Late October
When the dead will rise
From their graves
To awaken our fear
In our dark souls
And our craving lust
To celebrate
The pumpkins are carved
Candles burn
In the house of ghosts
Deep in the woods
A hollow black star
On the blood red sky
Under witches' spell
And children's hoods
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
Haunting me
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
This Halloween
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
Haunting me
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
This Halloween
