i'd like to introduce myself 
although i'm sure you know me well 
i am the shadow 
of tomorrow 
and it's time for my next spell

with only seconds to spare you're dead 
wiped out with nothing to be said 
for your existence 
before resistance 
can find a thread

by his dread hand i come 
from out behind the pendulum 
when there's work to be done 
so why let woe begone 
it's part of the experience 
it's half of the fun

i'm only moments away at any time 
before you know it my light turns lime 
i cross the threshold 
and the air goes cold 
no ghost left behind

so ready or not, here it goes again 
how many times now has it been 
[wait, lemme check] 
(you see a thousand of me, and) 
i won't ever stop, because

every puppet has it's strings

when he lines up the shot 
i put that special spin on it 
and wait for the drop 
so why not feed the flame 
it's written in the basecode, yeah 
in the rules of the game

i promise you, this won't take a second 
there's no need to fear 
so listen now, there ain't no use in running 
cuz i'm already here
