Haken - Shapeshifter Lyrics

Dance into the masquerade
I am the only man who has a face
In this land of no identity
Who leads your secret society?

So deep in her disguise
I fail to recognize my sister
The shapeshifter will never change her ways

You make the first descent
This atmosphere becomes intense
As you start to undress
My robes of consciousness

So deep in her disguise
I did not recognize my sister
The shapeshifter will never change her ways

In the mist you fade to grey
Lost in a city where vampires are guarding the gates
And you vanish with no trace
Warped and distorted, my fear is escorted away
Pleasure I mistake for pain
My demons and angels are playing a dangerous game
Inside the vessel of my friends
I'm haunted by strangers, they're craving a thirst for revenge

I surrender to the view
To find the replacement, a manifestation of you
One God to whom I seldom pray
Created by science, you work in mysterious ways

So deep in her disguise
I still don't recognize my sister
The shapeshifter will never change her ways

When you are dreaming
I am wide awake
Believe when you see me
In the mind's eye I wait while you are sleeping
