Crystal Phoenix - Dark Shadow (1989)
What is left of you black bat
gettin' off at sunset by your cave
where the ones like you were happy
to spy upon a white, white dove
who's flyin' so away in the light.
What is left of you black bat
never listen to who said:
“She's unlike you, you can't love
who flies to the sun like her,
you’re so ugly, if she sees ya
she’ll getaway…”
Just a shadow in the night.
What brings you black bat
to learn the softly way she flies
to look toward the light
to get out before the darkness
and follow her through the empty skies.
How you've been lovin' her black bat
to stand always their sights
even if you’ve been lookin' like her
some of the real you was still alive
so different dark and misunderstood.
Like a shadow in the night.
What have you felt black bat
when you've disclosed yourself and she got away
when the doves shove you off
and the ones like you won't take ya back
you're so different at last even of them.
What is left of you black bat
when you think it isn’t right
flightin’ the blinding sun
that's tellin' you: "No place to ya,
you now just gotta die!".
Just a shadow in the night
without peace, without life.
Just a shadow in the night
a heart‑beat in the ashes.
