Haunted
Boy in the Shadows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eternal sorrow
Darkened memories
Shadow illusions
Dead world within

Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
Haunting me
Monsters in my dreams (In my dreams)
This Halloween

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
